Overview The foundation of Organizational Development (OD) finds its roots in the principles of behavioral sciences. WCS boasts significant expertise not only in traditional OD methodologies but also in the latest advancements within the field. WCS harnesses various critical facets of OD, including systems thinking, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, positive psychology, appreciative inquiry, and participatory change processes. Organizational Change WCS specializes in steering organizational changes with both precision and creativity. It's about purposeful shifts that revamp structures, processes, strategies, culture, or technologies to improve performance, adapt to external circumstances, or achieve specific goals. WCS is big on participatory change methods, which consists of actively engaging key stakeholders, including managers, employees, customers, and other relevant parties, in the change process. These approaches allow those affected by change to contribute their insights, ideas, and experiences, ensuring a high sense of engagement and subsequent buy-in to the changes. The WCS toolbox includes approaches such as Appreciative Inquiry, Future Search, and Open Space Technology.
Leadership Competencies Developing leadership competencies involves describing, in behavioral terms, the qualities, skills, knowledge, and attitudes an organization seeks in its leaders. These competencies make sure that leaders have the right skills to handle today's goals and the desire results for tomorrow. When this happens, the competencies become ingrained in both the formal and informal language of the organization, simplifying discussions of performance and growth among leadership and employees, and fostering a culture where leadership competencies are intrinsic to driving organizational outcomes. When these competencies are baked into everyday communication, they create a culture where great leadership is at the heart of how things get done.
Succession Planning Succession Planning is about taking a deliberate approach to anticipate and prepare for transitions within key leadership roles – and getting ready for those moments by maximizing the organization’s bench strength. When leaders and organizations don't match up, things can go a bit haywire and WCS is all about making sure transitions are relatively seamless. We figure out what kind of leaders a company needs, then build a lineup of potential successors ready to step in when the time comes. WCS uses proven assessment and succession methods to make sure companies have a strong backup team, always ready to take the reins when required.
