Activity 11.1
Organization transformation (OT) involves qualitatively different ways of
perceiving, thinking and behaving in organizations and requires top managers to
take an active leadership role. It can occur in response to or in anticipation of major
changes in an organizations environment or technology. In addition, these changes
are often associated with significant alterations in the firm's business strategy,
which, in turn, may require modifying corporate culture as well as internal structures
and processes in order to support the new direction, whereas organizational
development a(OD) is all about improving performance at the individual, group, and
organization levels. It is about improving the organizations ability to effectively
respond to changes in its external environment, and it's about increasing internal
capabilities by ensuring the organizational structures, human resources systems,
job designs, communication systems, and leadership/managerial processes fully
harness human motivation and help people function to their full potential.
OT is said to be a revolutionary because sudden changes are brought in
organizations to adapt to changing environments. An example would be an
acquisition, where the acquired company would have to quickly adapt to the new
working environments and culture imposed by the parent company.
However, OD is said to be evolutionary because the change process is slow so that
all individuals can adapt to the changes gradually. It is not a straight or sudden
process. An example would be the process of formulating new rules for the
organization, i.e. by having continuous consultations with employees on rule
formulation, considering views, having a vote and finally deciding the finalized set
of rules.

The main Characteristics of Future organizations:
Employment security when employees fear that they could lose their jobs
anytime, employee do not operate efficiently. So all organizations must
provide employees with the assurance that they have a secure job in order to
increase efficiency in the organization.
Selective hiring Organizations must ensure that they recruit the right
people for the right job because employees of the organization are a key part
that can lead the organization to success or failure.
Self-Managed Teams and Decentralization as Basic Elements of
Organizational Design An organization needs to organize employees into
self-managed teams to achieve a high performance management system.
The reason is that employees get lot of autonomy and discretion which
translates into job satisfaction.
Training The amount of training and the commitment of the organization to
continually train employees is very essential for proper functioning of the
organization. Employees need to have required skills in order to help the
organization progress.
Reduction of status Organization needs to make employees feel valuable
and important and this can be done through removing the hierarchical
structures and the status distinctions that separate individuals and groups.
Making employees feel valued would motivate them to perform better and
help the organization achieve its goals and more.
