HomeProblem Analysis - Øresund Synergy

Organizational Diagnostic Plan and Process

Our Company Start–up Process typically begin with Organizational “Quick Scan” meetings with key persons about company structure, perceived problems, and anticipated company solutions.

Then an Organizational Analysis often follows, using world-renowned, proprietary questionnaire: the JCQ 2.0 (below) – including “Organizational Health Status” assessments, and standard job strain risk/and job active growth assessments. Questionnaire feedback builds a broad platform for work process analysis and Multi-party Dialogues within the company.

Company’s Work Organization Engagement can then be enhanced by playing the Tzatziki game - which “opens-up” the company’s range of acceptable work organization dialogues.

Thereafter comes the Øresund Synergy Company Action Plan Decision Point (assisted by web-based tools) to select an approach for the primary Øresund Synergy Company contributions to follow:

a. Organization-level Work Re-Organization

b. Focused, Task-based Job Redesign

c. Personal behavior-based Stress Health courses at group level

d. Individually-focused, Stress Prevention, Coaching, or Work Re-entry

This is a classic in the area of Stress research. It outlines the most widely used model of occupational stress and gives a good understanding if its development and use. It is n't a perfect model but it has advanced our understanding of stress in the workplace. Should be on everyones shelf.

Healthy Work: Stress, Productivity, and the Reconstruction Of Working Life

Excellent review of research related to stress in the work place. It covers all of the relevant theory and history of creating a productive and healthy work setting. This book could also be used in a higher education class.

-By William J. Weitzel-
Healthy Work is a classic--though currently under-appreciated--work on organizations. It is a book of great breadth and richness that deserves more than one reading. Healthy Work is a "must read" for those concerned with creating healthy organizations. It describes the demand-control model, which has had a huge influence on research on work and health. The model was prompted by Karasek's concern about the consequences of demand-control imbalances in the workplace. Karasek and Theorell provide a vision of humane organizations in which employees can master challenges and experience personal growth. Healthy Work is not an easy read, but it is a "must read" for OD practitioners, OB professors, and those concerned with improving life in organizations. It challenges us to improve the "psychic prisons" in which many employees--unfortunately--spend much of their waking hours.

We will be back to you all for the playing of Tzaziki and possibly development of other games … so to be continued. In the mean time I do hope you get the Oresund synergy engine on the move

Synergimødet var rigtig morsomt. Jeg synes det spil de har udviklet er suverænt, og fortjener masseudbredelse.

I will have a talk with the students that supported us during the session in Malmö and discuss how we shall continue with the game and contribute to the development of Öresund synergy. I look very much forward to that!
