MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager DATE: March 8, 2001 RE: ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE We have scheduled an hour at the Council Retreat next Tuesday to review and discuss the Town's organizational improvement efforts. As part of this discussion, we will be reviewing the use of the Denison Survey instrument which measures an organization's "culture," including: customer focus, organizational direction, communication, team effectiveness, capability development, etc. At this session the Council will also have an opportunity to review the specific results of this instrument across this organization over the last 3 years within all Town of Vail departments, including the Vail Police Department. The purpose of this memo is to provide an overview of the town's organizational development philosophy and to increase Council's understanding of this important internal process. The Town of Vail organization exists to provide high quality, cost effective services for full time and part time residents and guests. We use organizational improvement strategies and tactics to help increase our effectiveness in providing these services and to ultimately achieve our mission. "Organizational development" is a general term that involves improving the organizational culture and overall climate within an organization. Organizational culture is usually defined as common standards and practices within the organization that either serve or hinder the results sought at the departmental and individual levels. While there are many tactics, programs and strategies to address organizational performance and to improve an organization's overall culture, the Town of Vail's organizational development efforts to date are based on the two fundamental concepts of personal choice and personal responsibility. Personal choice simply recognizes that we all have choices about things we do, the way we feel about issues; and how we respond to them. Personal responsibility means that everv employee is responsible for the success of this organization. An important component of the Town's organizational culture is our internal organization vision and values. While the Council has an identified mission, vision and values which articulate policy direction and strategic intent, the TOV internal organizational values were developed approximately 7 years ago and are policy neutral. In other words, these values can be used to support any policy direction chosen by the elected officials. We attempt to use these value statements as guiding principles in the day-to-day conduct of our individual jobs. We also use them as a framework to discuss difficult internal issues. These values generally speak to how we treat our customers and how we treat one another. Within the context of the larger frame, we use a number of tactics and techniques to improve organizational performance. Among these are the Denison Culture Survey, 360 Degree performance evaluations, and the Stephen Covey Jr. Seven Habits Program. Each of these bring specific information to individuals which provide them the opportunity to improve their individual work situation. On Tuesday, Michael McNally will review with you the fundamental concepts included in the Denison instrument. At that time, I will be available to answer any questions you have about the Denison results for any of the TOV departments. were developed approximately 7 years ago and are policy neutral.
