Give the ODC a chance !

Dear Executive Committee Members of CCI

At the recently concluded Elections, members HAVE EXPRESSED A DESIRE FOR CHANGE !

What is Organization Development?

(OD) is a deliberately planned, organization-wide effort to increase an organization's effectiveness and efficiency. It enables the organization to achieve its strategic goals.

OD theorists and practitioners define it in various ways. Its multiplicity of definition reflects the complexity of the discipline and is responsible for its lack of understanding.

OD interventions are about change so involve people - but OD also develops processes, systems and structures.

Snapshot of CCI as an Organisation:

• A Membership strength of 9000 (+ families) and growing rapidly
• Staff strength of 350-500 (own and outsourced)
• Numerous Committees and Sub-Committees requiring cohesive working
• Numerous vendors, supplying products & services to the club
• Financial Assets of 450 cr +
• Properties of CCI and their maintenance & development
• Sports Activities, sought to be made more meaningful
• Entertainment & F&B related activities and events

How Does It Work?

1. Prepare Vision, Mission Statement and Long Term Goals for the Club. Provide direction to an organisation.
2. Goals can me multiple and can involve financial goals, sports related goals, hospitality goals like member satisfaction.
3. Review policy and procedures, recommend changes where necessary, preparation of documentation. This would ensure sound governance with ease in decision making.
4. Access resources like physical resources, human resources, IT resources in order to achieve the desired goals.
5. Prepare micro goals for sub committees and define their roles, policies and procedures
6. Engage with consultants, administration, governing body (EC) & sub committees

This approach and its implementation will also ease the work stress of the management and administration and also help to improve member satisfaction levels.
