In simple terms, Organization Development is the art and science of improving the effectiveness of your organization and the people in it. Here’s the catch - the definition is the easy part.
The much tougher question is…”How do you produce and implement an OD program?” Establishing and executing a comprehensive OD program is a difficult challenge but if done properly it will create the conditions for clearly identifiable results and markedly improve the human capital of your company.
AOC and our teaming partners bring a wealth of knowledge and years of practical experience in all facets of Organizational Development. We will use our knowledge, skills and abilities to assist your business in making tangible steps in improving all facets of your organization.
Performance management is about much more than just focusing on employees - it's about the departments, teams, projects, products and processes that make up your organization. The bottom line is that performance management is about achieving performance-base results.
The focus of performance management is on "outcomes" vice "outputs". We will integrate the S-M-A-R-T methodology to drive results, assisting you to establish outcomes that are Specific, Measureable, Accountable, Results oriented and Time bound. Along with our teaming partners, AOC has delivered performance management training, as well as hands-on assistance in establishing performance based programs, to some of the government's largest and most complex organizations.
With the release of the President's Management Agenda and the statement that "the federal government is results oriented", the interest and success of performance management have been on parallel paths. We understand the process and have applied it in large organizations - let us help you get S-M-A-R-T, focus on results and improve your bottom line.

The effectiveness of an organization depends largely on the quality of its' human capital. In today's mobile society and competitive workforce, it is rare to find a company that can keep a high percentage of the employees throughout their careers.
The combination of these two dynamics creates a situation where many companies must plan for unexpected losses. Succession planning begins with a review of your vision and long-term strategy which then serves as the basis for allocating resources and provides direction for your employees.
We will conduct a comprehensive Personnel Life-cycle Management Assessment which focuses on organizational structure, hiring practices, individual training and education, distribution, sustainment, professional development and ends with employee retirement. We will assist your team in the methodical development of an effective succession plan that will mitigate the effects of employee attrition, migration and retirement.
Our goal - like yours - is to minimize the disruptive effects of losing employees and to sustain a high degree of organizational effectiveness. Together, we can attain "Greater Results Through Teamwork".
In today's workplace, critical knowledge as it relates to your systems, programs, processes, products, etc., is often taken for granted until it is lost or irretrievable. Such set-backs can have devastating effects on your company's operations and the bottom-line. Unfortunately, once this knowledge leaves your company, it's probably lost forever. Implementing an effective knowledge management program is a must for any business or organization to mitigate the impact of losing key employees as a result of a tight labor market or due to an aging workforce.
AOC and our teaming partners have a solution to combat this problem before it occurs. We develop and execute plans that will maximize organizational performance using a four step process to "harvest" this knowledge before it departs your company. The process we employ is designed to reduce the "Knowledge Gap" - the gap where knowledge leaves your organization and the time it takes you to replace it.
We will work closely with your management team to identify your critical knowledge, capture it, provide it back to your current workforce and work hard to sustain your teams.
Our four step process includes:
-
Step #1 - Identify critical knowledge, culture and norms
-
Step #2 - Capture and storing critical knowledge
-
Step #3 - Provide the workforce tools to access critical knowledge
-
Step #4 - Sustain high performing teams
