  Title Author
  Organizational Diagnostic “Molecular” Model  The “Molecular” Model is a new diagnostic tool that captures the dynamic, organic complexity of the ways in which the elements of an organization interact with and influence each other.  It can be used either as a tool for greater understanding of the complex dynamics of organizations or as a "lens" that allows practitioners to focus interventions for the greatest impact.

  The 9 Most Common Myths About Performance Appraisals   You may sense that appraisals are not working at your company. But like the majority of business leaders, you cling to some basic assumptions about performance appraisal that are simply not true. Tom Coens and Mary Jenkins
  The Case Against Using Written Comments in Organizational Surveys  Well-designed open-ended questions provide a forum employees to voice concerns that were not specifically addressed in the scaled items. In addition, management will often learn about unexpected concerns through the use of such open-ended responses. The danger exists, however, that robust statistical results may be overlooked because a few contrary comments are given more weight than they deserve. Ted Hill
  Cultural Due Diligence: Upping the Likelihood of Merger and Acquisition Success  Financial, operational, and technical due diligence are routine undertakings before companies consummate a merger or acquisition. However, what spells trouble most often in mergers and acquisitions is cultural incompatibility. Through cultural due diligence, the human side of these transactions can be given the same scrutiny that has traditionally been applied to the more quantitative assets of companies. Russell Lobsenz, PhD, & Lynn Summers, PhD
  An Introduction to Goal-Driven Performance Management  Many organizations function not too differently than the bumper car ride at the amusement park, with much commotion but little success in executing strategy. Goal-driven performance management offers a fundamentally sound way to corral the energy and talent of the corporate population and deliver the results required to achieve strategic goals. Lynn Summers, PhD
