Every organisation has a vision. Whenever there is a gap between the vision and reality, the organisation comes under tension. Tension can be of two types, Negative tension or Creative tension.

Most organizations get into negative tension when the gap between vision and reality increases. In organizations suffering from negative tension, people try to reduce the tension by reducing the gap between vision and reality by bringing the vision closer towards the reality.

In organizations, which get into creative tension, people constantly strive to take their reality closer towards the vision over a period of time. This results in organisation growth. The objective of Vriksh OD Intervention services is to eliminate negative tension in an organisation under tension and foster creative tension, which results in growth and prosperity.

Steps involved in OD Interventions

Step 0: Create a core team

A cross-functional team is created and trained to carry on the initiative. Typically, the team consists of our consultants, HR resources and several cross-functional resources.

Step 1: Identify existence of negative tension

This is done through one to one interviews and/or focused group discussions with people to identify issues/ concerns of management and people down the line. All undesirable effects (UDEs) are recorded and impact of these issues/ concerns/ UDEs is measured.

Step 2: Identify root cause of the negative tension

This involves building logic (effect-cause-effect) trees … linking all the UDEs to a few logical core problems through reflection, inquiry, dialogue and discussion.

Step 3: Develop Solution

The core problems are linked with the desired results. The transition is planned by linking the core problems with the required actions to achieve the desired results.

Step 4: Implement the Solution

A core team comprising of client's people in different levels is involved in implementing the solution. The implementation is done by creating awareness through communications programmes, obtaining commitment and initiating change through CFTs.
