The Dynamics of Organizational Development in the Digital Age

Abstract

An organization is a group of people with a purpose. It can be a profit-oriented or a non-profit organization. The organization will start by defining its goal, mission, vision, values, and objectives. In the digital age, many organizations are being formed; whether it is brought by a common goal or by change. Organizations are now performing their functions in efficient ways with the use of modern technology. The organization will begin to grow once all major components are met –goals, structure, roles and responsibilities, resources. As the organization reached its maturity phase, the next concern is how to maintain its operations. The challenge is how long the organization will become stagnant. Will it survive for decades or is it going to decline in just few years? The organizations today continue to strive to improve their strategy, structure and processes. While data science is helping organizations, leaders should be careful in handling sensitive organization information. As the technology improves, the risks for the organizations also improve. The organizations should also consider re-structuring based on the improved functions and cost-efficient manner. With the modern tools and automation brought by the digital age, many of the roles and responsibilities are lessened. Continuous improvement should not only be for the assets, structure, processes of the organization, but also in the members as well.
