Organisational health: A framework for checking your organisation's fitness for success

Abstract

One of the challenges facing organisations and consultants, when they are working together on change and business improvement, is the initial identification of the ‘problem’. This paper sets out benefits to an organisation in carrying out regular diagnostic reviews — and describes an effective framework. The framework takes a systemic and holistic view of organisations — a key to organisational health. The four elements in the framework — Strategy, People, Enablers and Leadership – offer an effective way for an organisation to check its health and fitness for success.
