Organizational Performance
Noblis’ approach to advancing organizational performance integrates traditional organization development strategies with a unique, innovation-based philosophy to strengthen the organization at all levels and create a foundation for sustained growth and performance.Culture of Innovation
Traditional improvement methods (TQM, Six-Sigma, LEAD) have been well-integrated into the culture of many organizations. The value of continuous improvement is a given and we fully support a culture of reducing variability and shedding redundancy. At the same time, we believe a culture of innovation is also needed to produce the performance gains that are demanded in today’s healthcare market. Noblis brings a methodology to assist organizations in transforming the culture of an organization to one that embraces innovation as a management competency in achieving high performance.
Leadership and Organization Development
The ability to make any organizational change requires effective leadership. Research is conclusive that the single, most important critical success factor in any change initiative is leadership. Noblis professionals can assist you in designing and executing a leadership strategy that: incorporates critical management competencies and related performance measures; integrates mission, vision and values; and, provides for ongoing assessment of cultural alignment against a set of specific performance targets.
Change Management
There is a large body of research that validates the link between successful change and effective enabling strategies. Seventy percent of unsuccessful change initiatives fail due to human factors, rather than technical or operational aspects. Noblis professionals will work with you to design and execute a progressive change management and communication strategy that supports sustained performance, increases workforce flexibility and expands the organization’s capacity for change.
Organizational Design
Care providers of the future will be defined by organizational structures that promote agility, rapid decision-making, and communication. Yet, typical health care organization charts remain relatively unchanged from earlier practices. Noblis applies contemporary theories and research in organization design to create new structures, roles, and relationships to enable achievement of the hospital’s strategic vision. New organization design results in improvements in customer responsiveness, staff satisfaction and reductions in operating costs.
