About ODTI
Who are we?
The Organisation Development Tools Institute (ODTI), Researches, Develops and Provides tools that help organisations plan and execute Incremental, Transitional and Transformational Change, based on Organisation Science and Dynamic Systems Maturity Theory (DSMT). DSMT identifies the distinct learning levels (Maturity levels) that describe any organisations functioning level (Performance and ability to change), and provides a roadmap to improve Performance & Agility to higher maturity levels
What challenges do organisations face today? (Problem)
It is widely acknowledged in Industry & Academia that 70% of change programs fail to deliver expected value using existing change models and tools. Research evidence indicates that though many of these organisations followed recommended best practice change processes, that the specific change actions and interventions required a higher level of existing Organisation Maturity to gain traction and have a sustainable impact.
In todays modern dynamic, technologically centric environment, organisations must be able to anticipate, adapt and even stimulate change to survive and be successful, but often find themselves constrained by existing strategies, culture and practices. As a result they are seeking more advanced tools and techniques to improve their change capability, as they also drive to improve the success rates and impact of their change programs.
What is the product? (Solution = Next Generation Change Management)
Body of Knowledge: The Organisation Capability Maturity Framework™ ( OrgCMF™) is a Change Capability Maturity Framework, consisting of Three Reference Models and their related Bodies of Knowledge which describes each Maturity Level for each key organisation 'Dynamic' (Macro Capability) and underpinning 'Constructs' (Micro Capability). It also provides a roadmap to guide change actions and improve change capability.
Organisation Maturity Assessment: The starting point for any organisation change program ,is an appropriate organisation assessments, which provides a true measurement of their current capabilities, and appropriate guidance on actions to be taken to achieve both their target change goals and improved capability maturity. (For each Reference Model, OMI, TMI, DMI)).
Approach: The ODTI Digital Platform provides access to the full OMI, TMI & DMI bodies of knowledge, and Assessment Portfolio. A self-service model for all standard Assessments is planned, and where required ODTI can configure an assessment to meet specific customer change program goals.
