Comparing disciplines - OB vs OD

Organisational behavior and organisational development are disciplines within the field of management. Both involve the study of human behavior within organisations, and both aim to improve the functioning and performance of organisations. Let's dive into some key similarities and differences.

Behaviour modelling

Managers and team leaders who openly encourage and shape individual and team behaviours are more able and more likely to deliver optimum all round performance. Behaviour Modelling with Promana enables you to bring measurable, participative change to your enterprise.

Build better teams

What happens – or doesn't happen – within any group or team is vital to its success. The behaviours of its members need to satisfy certain specific conditions for any group or team to be truly effective.

Discover needs, select programs

Coaching and facilitation are processes requiring interaction, often one-on-one, where the coach/facilitator enables the other person to work their way through a situation and arrive at their own conclusion, not the coach’s.

Improve decision-making

Promana delivers the kind high-quality, objective, reliable and consistent information needed for making the kinds of quality managerial and personal decisions that directly affect people - be that individually or in groups.

Learn, train, develop

One of the interesting observations made by Promana users is that managers can tend to have only a moderate interest in their own development, and the development of their teams.

Organisational Intervention

Promana's assessments provide objective definition, revealing hidden influences and identifying potential sticking points. More than that, it shows how and where to intervene.

Succession & Other Planning

Demand for excellent people is always high but the supply, unfortunately, always falls well short of demand. The naturally excellent sales person, manager, accountant and so on, is already working for someone else – perhaps in his or her own business.

Tune the work environment

Should the internal environment be warm, supportive and encouraging? Or should it be stimulating, potentially hazardous and rewarding only to those who contribute? The answers to these questions and others like them must come from within the organisation itself.
