There
are different factors that can help in managing an organization's activities
effectively. Identifying the key components of effective organizations can help
leaders to organize the process effectively.
Strategy
In
order to manage an organization effectively, it is necessary to define the
organization's clear plan and structure to guide the organizational hierarchy,
mission, and goals. The management team usually study innovations in the
industry and monitor the competition. They make decisions only after evaluating
the short-term and long-term consequences of those decisions. As a key
component, the strategy must define how an organization should operate thus
enabling the management team to make decisions accordingly.
Flexibility
Given
the industry of a certain organization or company, the demand for certain
activities or services offered by that organization can often change. For that
reason, organizations must remain flexible to cope with changing conditions.
The structure of the organization may also need to be changed and improved due
to various factors, for instance, providing trainings for inexperienced
employees for them to acquire additional skillset for carrying out more complex
tasks. Inefficiently operating mechanisms must also be replaced to keep the
organization functioning without any interruption.
The
workforce
A
key part of the activities of any organization is its employees with their
professional qualifications. Human capital is usually considered to be the main
pillar on which the activities of that particular organization is based. It is
the driving force that fosters the development of that organization. The
involvement, participation and cooperation of all employees with their
co-workers, as well as with the management team is important for the effective
implementation of all activities of an organization or company.
Management
The
head of the organization is the primary person responsible for the development
of the organization and the accomplishment of its goals. The manager is the one
to define the strategy of a given organization, to evaluate the work of
employees, to control the processes and to make the most important decisions.
In other words, the manager determines the direction of the organization.
Effective managers have extensive industry experience, good communication
skills, and a vision for the organization's overall performance. They encourage
open communication to learn about different aspects and to guide employees
through the implementation of the overall work process.
Corporate
culture
Corporate
culture is defined around the mission and goals of the given organization. The
managers of the organization should introduce the activities and goals of that
organization to employees as a basis for foundation of the culture in that
organization. The corporate culture is characterized by different
manifestations of the behavior of employees and the appropriate rules of
conduct, reflecting the interaction among them. A corporate culture that
encourages communication and employee growth increases organizational
effectiveness.
