Review of an Organization's Workforce
SIG Leader

David Wilson, Manager, Canada

A model to enable a review of an organization's workforce: WMOOD.

I developed the Workforce Model of Organizational Development (WMOOD), encompassing the core PDSA concepts created by Dr. Walter A. Shewhart and Dr. W. Edward Deming, and applied it in two divisions of the Ministry of Health in 2006 and 2007. It identifies a phased 12-step framework that can be used to review an organization.

WMOOD consists of a 4 phase process which is further divided into 12 steps, including:
- Plan: Strategic Planning, Business Planning, and Organizational Planning
- Do: Work Analysis, CKSA's (Competencies, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities), and Gap Analysis
- Study: Learning Plan, Performance Measures, and EPDP (Employee Performance and Development Plan)
- Act: Succession Planning, Division HR Plan, and Reassess/Review
For more details see: Workforce Model of Organizational Development. Thank you.
