Given a constantly changing marketplace, best in class companies regularly realign their employee talents, capabilities, and structures in conjunction with their shifting business strategies. Organizational development is about accompanying client companies on that journey, helping cultivate their unique path to success. At AETHOS™, we translate business strategy into tangible action-items, creating accountability, collaboration, and organization-wide focus on what is important to achieve business priorities.
Approach
Our approach is to build a deep understanding of your business, culture, and challenges. This allows AETHOS™ to create viable results, practical solutions, and deliver on the priorities you set. Business success requires maximizing and capitalizing on the talents of each team member, aligning organizational business priorities with the focused actions of teams and individuals throughout the organization. Such efforts are guided by clear communication and clarity of desired behaviors, consistent with organizational values and culture.
We believe organizational development is continuing and ongoing to ensure all processes are aligned with business priorities, including performance management, learning and development, and coaching. These are examples of processes that ensure employees at all levels are prepared to execute their positions’ demands while focused on the organization’s business priorities. Applying these practices in your organization allows for the achievement of real and sustained performance breakthroughs. Our practice in this area centers around organizational strategy and dynamics, team development, talent evaluation, and leadership.
Organizational Strategy & Dynamics
We assist client organizations in setting and defining clear roles and workflows that create buy-in and accountability, building a more aligned and agile workforce that can more readily respond to changing market conditions.
It is essential that every leader can articulate a clear vision and utilize the full potential of every member of the organization by connecting every team member to strategy, ensuring clarity how every member of the organization contributes to the execution and attainment of the plan. Such practices and clarity also create accountability for results.
