Every organization is a complex living organism - planning, reacting, adapting, evolving, growing, and shrinking in response to external demands and internal capabilities.
Measuring capital and technological assets provide "hard" measures for planning. The ability to execute, however, depends on what were once "soft" and unreliable measures
- human capabilities.
OAD LLC helps organizations objectively measure and evaluate internal capabilities - the capabilities of people to execute and work synergistically.
Organization Analysis and Design workshops combine the information generated by the OAD Surveys with the critical components of leadership development and success for:
- Executives
- Sales & Marketing Executives
- Supervisors
- Interdepartmental Teambuilding
- Understand own and others' work related personality traits and adjusted job behaviors, the organizational cultures, and idiosyncrasies.
- Diagnose temperaments and behaviors related to individual or group performance and productivity, synergy, friction, dysfunction, team cooperation.
- Determine how people work, plan, accept/reject, and react to change.
- Manage/Lead, evaluate, develop, and reward performance-relevant behaviors
- Develop/Design strategic Human Capital models to sustain, change, and grow the organization.

The Cost of Employee Turnover:
The cost of employee turnover can be devastating to any organization. In a recent report from Saratoga Human Resources Services, the study found that “Turnover-related costs represent more than 2% of pre-tax income for the average company according to Saratoga's 2006/2007 Human Capital Effectiveness Report. For companies at the high end of the spectrum (the 75th percentile), turnover costs are equivalent to nearly 40% of earnings!” The Saratoga Review – February 2007, (Saratoga Human Resources Services is a division of Price, Waterhouse, Coopers)
