(17) WHC Consulting & Management Services WHC Consulting (4.0)William H Clapp White Paper Commentary Regarding Organization Development and Management Copyright 2016 William H. Clapp –WHC Consulting – All Rights Reserved

(18) William H. ClappTo: Parties of interestSubject: The building and maintaining of an effective organizationReference: Comments from and following an open discussion with an industrial psychologist regarding organization, business development and managementGreetings:At a time during which I was employed by a division of a Fortune 500 corporation ina senior sales capacity, as the organization was in the process of redefinition, I hadthe benefit of a chance meeting with an old acquaintance. This individual, anindustrial psychologist, and I spoke for several hours about the issues of developingand maintaining an effective organization. As a result of that meeting, there hasbeen developed a synopsis of fifteen (15) material topical questions regarding theprobability of success of a given venture, which follow: (1) Is there a current, well thought out and defined business plan that is achievable? (2) As subsets of the base business plan, are there thought out strategic and tactical plans to meet the plan objectives with realistic milestone markers to meeting the goals as defined in the plan? Are there budgets within the financial models for new and ongoing product/service development & enhancement? (3) Is the organizational/operational structure compatible with meeting the objectives/goals within the defined plan? (4) Does the management team have the vision and experience necessary to maximize the potential of the opportunity?

(19)Page #2, William H Clapp memorandum regarding business organization,development & management (5) Are the needed resources available, as needed (on a time lined basis), to meet the `business plan objectives (financial, marketing, engineering, facilities, equipment, production, materials, personnel, etc)? (6) Have there been defined a clear set of management, employee and/ contractor requirements and job descriptions to meet the plan objectives? (7) Have the aforementioned job descriptions and performance goals been defined with measurement standards so to be able to clearly monitor performance of all the relevant parties performance in timely way as to meeting the defined plan objectives? Hence, also, is there flexibility available for timely corrective action in any area of concern (as opposed to an after the fact, to late to correct, historic revue)? (8) Have reporting & communications procedures been defined to foster an open two way dialogue to all parties to the effort? (9) Do the compensation plans and other programs provide for personal recognition and do they reward the performance of all of the parties to the effort (management, employees, contractors, etc.)? (10) Is there a thought out plan/structure for parties (both direct and indirect) who may be involved with the effort for bringing new ideas to the table for a fair evaluation/review (new business opportunities , new procedures, new concepts, etc.)? (11) Do the parties involved in the effort feel they are getting a \"fair shake\"? (12) Is there a grievance plan and structure in place to address problems before they get out of control? Is the reporting/communications/grievance structure readily adaptable to new conditions?

(20)Page #3, William H Clapp memorandum regarding business organization,development & management (13) Regarding the aforementioned, how is management/ employee/ contractor turnover to be minimized? When parties need to be replaced, for whatever reason, are the resources available and is there a plan for such contingencies? (14) Is there a structure for regular review both the business and operational plans as to their current relevance to what is actually happening or does the original concept/plan take on a life of it’s own (as its own mission)? And, (15), as a closing question, do the people involved with the effort have \" A shared vision of the future\"?At the close of this meeting, it was mutually concluded that: if these questions canbe answered favorably, there may be substantial reason to have confidence in thesuccess of the venture. Conversely, to the extent that these issues are notaddressed, there was agreement that the number of unanswered or unfavorablyanswered questions may directly correlate to the probability/number of possibledownstream difficulties. *Cordially,Wm H. ClappWilliam H. Clapp* PS. As footnote to the above, as an interesting sidelight to the situationalconditions/difficulties/problems that served as the backdrop that prompted theopening of this topical discussion as referenced in the opening, it is relevant tonote that such were, in many ways, virtually identical to those of a priorinvolvement where not only were the operational structures and difficulties verysimilar but so were the ultimate outcomes (which were not at all favorable).
