Organizational Needs Inventory

Think Smart, Lead Confidently, Get Results
LMI's Organizational Needs Inventory is a worksmart tool that will give you invaluable feedback to help you position your organization to thrive in the future.

Organize Your Thinking!

The Organizational Needs Inventory provides a benchmark for continuous improvement that will help you to:

Measure changes that occur over time

Adapt appropriately to any change or lack of change you detect

Plan for your future with a clearer sense of direction and purpose

Dramatic changes are occurring in the way organizations are designed and managed. They are a result of new technologies, ever-increasing productivity and quality expectations, and an explosive growth of information. The changes also reflect a growing awareness of the deficiencies of traditional organizations and the adversarial relationship between management and workers that traditional organizations tend to produce. These conditions ensure continual change in the business environment, probably at an increasing rate.

The information produced by the Organizational Needs Inventory provides you with a basis for understanding:

1. How members describe your organization's structure and their views about what an ideal organization would be.

2. How members describe the predominant leadership style employed in your organization and their views about what the ideal leadership style would be.

3. How members describe your organizational culture and their views about what the ideal organizational culture would be.

4. Areas of incompatibility among your present organizational structure, predominant leadership style, and organizational culture.

5. What changes in attitudes and leadership styles would be beneficial.
