Organizational Development is the practice of growing your business through people, processes and systems. Cengrow’s approach to organizational development and governance utilizes an in-depth understanding about systems, human behavior and the governance required to lead both; in order to plan and manage the development of organizations into thriving, growing and healthy human systems that meet the needs of all their stakeholders.

We use systematic strategies and approaches to enhance organizational productivity and individual well-being. Our consultants work hands in hand with your governance body and executive management team to develop strategic plans, resolve issues and facilitate changes in order to build a solid foundation within the organization for continuous improvement and future crisis prevention.

We utilize many specialized tools and processes for organizational development and capacity building in conjunction with each other. The four categories of organizational development include:

• Strategic Planning/ Management: It involves helding ‘Future Search’ conferences that help large and diverse groups to discover common values, purposes and projects; finally changing mind-sets to a corporate result based way of working. We aim at building a ‘learning organization’ to facilitating continual learning for people at all levels.
• Techno-structural: Total quality management that involves work process re-design or re-engineering, organization re-design and infrastructure requirements.
• Human Processes: Team building and conflict resolution that involves personal growth workshops, interpersonal skills and communications training, emotional intelligence training, coaching and counselling skills training.
• Human Resource Management: It involves job design that encompass recruiting, selection and hiring, performance management, reward systems, multicultural training, coaching and mentoring. Cengrow’s consultants provide direct mentoring and emphasize an operational and implementable perspective, rather than an academic and theoretical approach. Our practical experience and expertise enables us to provide the most productive approach to meet a client’s need and has earned us a reputation for excellence.

Cengrow helps its clients articulate their vision and mission, set realistic yet challenging goals and implement effective strategies that involves application of resources to maximum potential.
We use VISI model for strategic and operational planning.

By successfully interlinking the three key elements- people, strategy and culture- you can significantly improve your organization’s performance, enhance employee productivity and increase the likelihood of achieving your strategic objectives.

It is only through connecting individual and team performance, and creating a culture of high performance that is aligned with the strategy, that performance management systems and processes can be designed in a sustainable manner for ongoing performance improvement.

We at Cengrow designs and implements result/ performance based management processes for bringing about tangible, escalating results in organizations. We offer to accelerate the pace of growth for your business within the existing resources.

Since each organization is unique, our experts first diagnose the key issues and problems to be addressed and then facilitate the committed involvement of your leadership team and key employees. Impact evaluation measures the net change over a particular time period in welfare outcomes for a particular group or groups of people that can be attributed to a specific, appropriately designed program using optimum resources.

Cengrow impact evaluation study attempts to answer the questions:

• Whether the program is working or has worked as intended to meet the target?
• If so, how well?
• If not, why not?

Impact evaluation helps your leadership take decisions about scaling up, extending or cutting down. It can also be used for assessing the effectiveness of pilot programs and guides you- to make the necessary modifications to the main program or to explore other alternatives.

There is always a need to know why and how a program works, not just if it does work. An impact evaluation study also answers questions about program design- which parts work and which parts do not work, and therefore can provide policy-relevant information for re-designing the existing program as well as for the design of future programs.

By identifying if development assistance is working or not, impact evaluation serves the accountability function. Impact evaluation emphasizes the interpretation of results/ performance based management.

Impact evaluation assesses if the resources have been optimally deployed to provide the maximum benefit to the intended beneficiaries and measures the cost-benefit of the different initiatives undertaken by the program.

Effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a critically important component of successful planning and management but applying it well to different strategies, programs or institutions is a challenge. Many donor agencies and other development finance institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of not only conducting M&E as a central element of their assistance, but also ensuring that M&E systems are not discarded at the end of the assistance.

The provision of M&E expertise is a core, well-established service provided by Cengrow. We apply a participatory approach and apply the total quality management model to M&E services. This is achieved by:

• Engaging with all key stakeholders when undertaking M&E activities
• Developing effective evaluation criteria, measurement metrics — quantitative and qualitative indicators for measuring change
• Developing accurate, targeted and cost-effective data collection mechanisms
• Working with stakeholders in the design and establishment of M&E systems for others to implement
• Providing training in the use of M&E techniques.

Successful monitoring and evaluation serves to enhance transparency and accountability, increasing investor and donor confidence.
