dq 1

Organizational Culture Inventory (graded)

Using the OCI instrument online and the cultural change background
information on Conglomerate, Inc. provided in Doc Sharing, we will be
identifying and prioritizing cultural attributes and also identifying areas for
change. (Note: The Cultural Change Situation can be downloaded from Doc
Sharing.) Review Profiles 1a (workforce results) and 1b (senior leadership
team’s ideal state) closely. Identify and describe the cultural aspects that
management cites as important and contrast them with the cultural attributes
that employees report as being expected. How do employees believe they are
expected to act to “fit in”? What are the most significant gaps between
management and staff? What observations can you make on the differences between
Conglomerate Inc.’s preferred culture and “ideal” culture presented by HSI?
Once we’ve identified and discussed the gaps, I’ll cue everyone to move onto
the review of the suggested change initiatives and onto observations around
your own OCI results.

Organizational Design Preference (graded)

Our text provides a thorough review of various organizational
design structures; let’s investigate our own organizational design preferences.
Describe your current or most recent employer’s organizational design
(mechanistic, organic, hybrid). Is the structure consistent with the company
goals? If you had the opportunity to redesign your current organization where
you are employed, would you maintain its current structure, or change it to
another model? What would that model be and why?
