Dr. Victoria Grady shares insights about the Organizational Loss of Effectiveness Index: a quantitative Tool for measuring individual response to organizational change.
I am joined today by Dr. Victoria Grady to talk about her Organizational Loss of Effectiveness Index, a quantitative Tool for measuring the individual response to organizational change. The LOE Index is used by organizations to identify behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes that emerge as a response to change and that ultimately impact its overall effectiveness.
The LOE Index quantitative data, along with qualitative data obtained from selective interviews, helps the implementation team develop a customized change management plan that can be adjusted as necessary. The index can be administered multiple times during the change implementation to provide continuous feedback and flexibility to re-evaluate the success of the change initiative.
Dr. Victoria Grady is currently a Lecturer at George Washington University. Her consulting practice, at PivotPoint Business Solutions, serves federal government institutions, non-profit organizations, and private sector companies.
