PYRADIGM: Organizational Case Review
About
the case:
This case review is a summary of work done by a multi-national
group of senior managers in a global organization. They represented
both manufacturing and service operations. Given cultural
differences within and between their organizations, the issue
they wanted to address was to find ways of building and sustaining
motivation, productivity, commitment, and common sense of
purpose. The PyradigmTM below was a central product/effort
of their work together.
We are offering this PyradigmTM case because we think it can
be helpful in different ways.
You can use it:
-
As a descriptive illustrated example of how components
of a PyradigmTM are created
and fit together;
-
To
get a picture of how a group of senior managers can work
together to create a PyradigmTM that can guide their organization;
-
As
a model to use in your own organization, if empowerment
is one of the issues/challenges you are addressing. (If
this is the case, we strongly recommend that you not adopt
or try to implement this until you have worked together
to complete your own process of creating and implementing
a PyradigmTM in your organization.)
-
To
develop or strengthen awareness of Second Level Learning
Points, which are appended after the description of how
this PyradigmTM was created. This section also includes
comments about using PyradigmsTM to identify organizational
“dna”
