Organizational Effectiveness Defined
OE is a systemic and systematic approach to continuously improving an organization’s performance, performance capacity and client outcomes. “Systemic” refers to taking into account an entire system or in the case of OE an entire organization; “systematic” refers to taking a step-by-step approach. In simple terms, therefore, OE is a step-by-step approach to continuously improving an entire organization.

Readiness for Change
Three Levels of Readiness Priority gap area for continuous improvement

An area of strength that is supporting continuous improvement as “a way of doing business”
