2
03/2008Nucleus-International.net2 Organisational Development - what is it? A planned process to change –the behaviour, attitudes and capacities of the actors in the organisation –the culture and attitudes of the organisation –the organisation and communication structures –the strategies Objective: To improve both internal and external performance of the organisation
3
03/2008Nucleus-International.net3 Some basic elements of OD Organisation members’ participation –in identifying problems –in developing solutions –in implementing changes A moderator / consultant accompanies the process OD is a learning process within the organisation
4
03/2008Nucleus-International.net4 Prerequisites to start an OD process The will –to learn –to change the organisation (enterprise / business chamber) due to –internal / external problems or –new visions
5
03/2008Nucleus-International.net5 Prerequisite to start an OD process A problem : negative situation, the organisation suffers A vision : adequate situation, but the organisation wants to improve more desired situation current situation problem vision current situation future situation + -
6
03/2008Nucleus-International.net6 Questions Do the chambers suffer in a way that they want to change their organisation ? Do they have visions? Do they have ideas where they want to be in 5 or 10 years ?
7
03/2008Nucleus-International.net7 The traditional Chamber-OD approach Board Staff Members Consulting Training Instruments : - equipment / grants - administration costs / grants - consulting - training - information - etc. Assumption : Who knows better acts better Chamber
8
03/2008Nucleus-International.net8 Results We do not know one Chamber-OD-Project where this approach caused successfully sustainable effects. The reasons: –The assumption is wrong –We cannot - and it is also not our task - change persons –Board and staff members change frequently. With their exit the new knowledge exits too. The knowledge is not transferred to the successors
9
03/2008Nucleus-International.net9 Results –The project contributes to some repairs under the existing paradigm This means: The “Business Club” remains a “Business Club” and does not change into a “Professional Service and Lobby Institution” –Effect : No sustainability –Example: more than 10 years promotion of CCICP through RDP / ESSP in Sri Lanka
10
03/2008Nucleus-International.net10 The “Nucleus” Approach The first objective of the “Nucleus” Approach is not the promotion of SMEs but the organizational development of business chambers and associations
11
03/2008Nucleus-International.net11 Chamber-OD under the Nucleus approach Board of Directors Employees Members / Nuclei Intervention IntInt
12
03/2008Nucleus-International.net12 The goal Create a positive / constructive “tension” between the Chamber’s actors –Members start to request, propose, participate, press –Employees start to orientate towards the members –The chairperson / board of directors start to negotiate with members / Nuclei and employees

24
03/2008Nucleus-International.net24 Results Members / Nuclei start to understand the chamber more as their organisation –They are the owners, not the board and the employees –They pay membership fee and therefore can complain and request services and quality When the chamber changes into a “Service Organisation” – a new paradigm – there are more chances for sustainability
25
03/2008Nucleus-International.net25 Logic of the Development of Chambers of Entrepreneurs Services Information / Consultation Training / Support Lobby in front of Government and other groups of the society Higher attractiveness for Entrepreneurs Law of great number: the more members, the more influence Chamber More Entrepreneurs apply for membership More members pay more membership fees More means to finance more and better services
