Management Consulting
Mansis provides top quality professional general management
consulting and personal coaching to the heads of organizations
and their senior executives, in the areas of human resource
management and resolving employee performance problems. Using
the unique 'Mansis Index of Organizational Change' survey
tool, Mansis consultants can also measure an organizations
inherent ability to implement change and recommend action plans
for increasing the organizations success at implementing change
and other initiatives.
The Mansis Index Of Organizational Change
Purpose of the Mansis Index of Organizational Change*
>>The Mansis Index of Organizational Change* is designed
specifically to give senior management an assessment of the
probable success of planned change efforts in their organizations.
Results gathered using this Index give you unfiltered information
about important organizational characteristics and opinions
which are related to your organization's receptivity and ability
to implement change successfully.
>>Information collected with this Index can be used to develop
specific action plans not only for increasing your organization's
willingness to accept necessary change, but also for improving
the organization's ability to implement the changes you want.
>>As well, the Mansis Index of Organizational Change* can help
validate management's perception of the need for organizational
change and focus organizational change activity on organizational
needs and not on symptoms.
>>This Index has resulted from over ten years field
experimentation by the Mansis Development Corporation with
organizations from all industries. This research is also based
upon studies of organizational behavior undertaken at major
research institutions across North America and it reflects the
most current, leading-edge knowledge about organizational change
and management.
>>Specific questions in the Index were developed from numerous
sources for measuring the many factors related to organizational
change, as well as from intensive research by Mansis.
