©Organizational Potential Diagnostics OPD

With a common vision – to help organizations grow – People Lab, a consulting company providing innovative people solutions, together with the top-level executive search firm J. Friisberg& Partners, has created an advanced organizational diagnostic tool ©OPD.

©OPD is an organizational diagnostic tool designed to analyze people-related processes and leadership, diagnose problems and prioritize further management decisions.

What does ©OPD indicate?

©OPD reveals the state of the main driving force of your business – human resources – and the factors influencing it. With the help of this tool:

1. you will learn about the current potential of your organization compared to the “gold standard”.
2. you will understand how focused and coordinated, based on the organization’s strategy, the management team operates and how prepared it is for future challenges.
3. you will assess whether people-related processes in your organization are effective enough to achieve strategic goals.
4. You will identify which practices related to leadership and people processes are most useful to strengthen.

When is ©OPD most useful?

• Your organization is facing challenges, but you don’t know where to start from.
• You want to understand whether the management team is capable of implementing a development strategy.
• You have questions about whether investments in processes and people are effective.
• You want to assess whether your talent strategy will ensure success in the future.
• Everything looks good at the moment, but you want to strategically prepare for future challenges, and you are conducting diagnostics before a strategy session.
• You are a new company manager or board member and want to quickly understand the organization’s potential, problems and areas for organizational development.
• You want to optimize the organization’s potential, people processes and leadership practices during major changes (mergers, acquisitions, changing operating models, expansion, restructuring, changes in the management team).

What does ©OPD analyze?

©OPD tool assesses people management and leadership practices applied in an organization.

People management practices are the strategies, processes and tools applied by an organization to ensure effective human resource management. ©OPD helps to assess how an organization manages human resources, what processes are used to attract, retain, develop talent, increase employee engagement and increase operational efficiency.

The analyzed practices cover the entire employee management cycle – from their attraction and introduction into the organization to motivation, performance management, talent development and organizational structure design. It also examines aspects of ensuring employee well-being and legal compliance to create an effective and sustainable work environment.

Leadership practices are the behavior of the management team, decision-making methods and interaction that ensure the growth of the organization and the implementation of strategic goals. ©OPD helps to analyze how the management team cooperates with each other, makes decisions, communicates and involves employees in the implementation of the organization’s mission. Their ability to respond to change, make transparent decisions and ensure the sustainability of the organization is also assessed.

The practices analyzed include the principles of leadership and strategic alignment, decision-making processes and team dynamics. The organization’s ability to innovate, collaborate and adapt to change is also examined.

The organization’s potential is assessed in the following sections:

Strategic priorities:  
does the organization have clear priorities?

Processes and tools:       
are existing processes and tools appropriate and sufficient to achieve the organization’s goals?

Alignment:                       
are the organization’s vision, strategy, culture and values aligned within management team?

Implementation:              
is the team, as it stands, sufficiently skilled, motivated, and empowered to meet the organization’s goals?
