What is Organizational Analysis and Design?

OAD is an information system, management and organization development process designed to be used "in-company" by decision-makers to improve the utilization and performance of employees.

Combining a fully computerized instrument, the OAD Organization Survey, with intensive application training and consulting support, the OAD program meets the needs of today's managers for practical, accurate assessment information.

The OAD Organization Survey measures the most critical seven work-related personality traits and job behavior perceptions.

Measurements tell managers the basic nature of employees and, importantly, how they perceive they must behave in their jobs in order to meet the organization's expectations. Requiring only about ten minutes to complete, the OAD Survey is computer scored in just minutes with the in-depth analysis immediately available.

A comprehensive job analysis process (JAQ) ensures that the OAD information is job-relevant.

A three-day training program and sound resource materials equip managers to understand the instrument, its proper usage and applications. To assist users in integrating the OAD into management systems, skilled consulting support is always available.

The OAD Survey - Researched, Validated and Security Protected

Developed over five years, the OAD Organization Survey has been extensively researched and field-tested. By both psychometric and EEO standards, the Survey is a valid and reliable measure of work-related personality traits and behavior perceptions. Client validation studies are further offered as a service to ensure confidence and legal compliance. With the integrated JAQ Job Analysis software, job-relevancy is built into the decision-making process.

For the protection of client and employee data, the OAD software is copy protected and three levels of password protection to ensure that the information cannot be used in an unauthorized manner.
