Overview: A successful organizational transformation has several key components, whether it is called job enrichment, organizational development, continuous improvement, or quality. First is empowering employees to do their jobs to the best of their ability. That requires pushing authority, responsibility, and information downwards. Second is empowering employees to change the system. Drucker is famous for noting that most problems are caused not by employees, but by systems, technologies, and processes. Since those are designed by people, it only makes sense that allowing people to fix problems in systems, technologies, and processes will have a tremendous impact in increasing productivity and quality. Third is providing a clear vision to people and helping everyone to understand the organizational strategy. Giving people a common vision and strategy motivates people, because they are not working at cross purposes, and it avoids wasted effort.
