Today we’re talking with Co-Host Chip Wilson about the seven components of an organization. Chip has spoken around the globe for the past 20 years about developing leaders and transforming organizations. We’re putting some of these talks up as podcasts in a segment we’re calling “Chip Clips”.Chip talks about the Transformation Model in this talk, so here’s a little more information for context:The Transformation Model is the framework we use to help leaders understand their organizations and also guide a successful redesign. The model reduces the complexity of an organization to eight key variables that must be understood and aligned for a business to be successful. Alignment implies a holistic or systems point of view that finds the best “fit” between all organizational elements. Paying attention to and understanding these variables will result in major improvements in customer service, quality, efficiency, cycle time, profitability and satisfaction of employees.
