Hi!
I am now to this learning organization group. Our organization, a
non-profit of 170 people, launched in a journey early in 1994 to
becomg a learning organization. We have changed our structure and
our culture -- and are organized around entrepreneurial
cross-functional teams. We have very open communications with
networked e-mail and no closed administrative meetings. We
transformed to a fundamentally new purpose and mission to define our
focus and role in partnering with 4-H, a pubic youth development
program that is part of the Cooperative Extension System in this
country.
We now find ourselves needing to develop a transformed system for
dealing with performance management and rewarding associates for
achieving team and organizational goals. The old approach of annual
goal-setting and performance appraisal just no longer works -- and
lack of a transformed system is making our most visionary and
transformed associates very impatient.
Any suggestions out there on this first day of 1995?
