\/>\nInterpretation and Diagnosis:\u00a0\u2028A crucial consideration is the diagnosis based upon data interpretation.\u00a0The simplest diagnosis would be to assess the amount of variance for\u00a0each of the seven variables.\u00a0 In relation to a score of 4, which is the\u00a0neutral point, scores above 4 would indicate a problem with the\u00a0functioning of the organization.\u00a0 The closer the score is to 7 the more severe the problem would be. Scores below 4 indicate the lack of a problem, with a score of 1 indicating optimum functioning.<br \/>\nAnother diagnostic approach follows the same guidelines of assessment in relation to the neutral point or score of 4. The score of each of the forty items on the questionnaire can be reviewed to produce more exacting information on problematic areas. Thus, diagnosis would be more precise. For example, let us suppose that the average score on item number 9 is 6.4. This would indicate not only a problem in organizational purpose, but also a more specific problem in that there is a gap between organizational and individual goals. This more precise diagnostic effort is likely to lead to a more appropriate intervention in the organization than the generalized diagnostic approach described. Appropriate diagnosis must also address the relationships between the boxes to determine the interconnectedness of problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In discussing Organizational Change, let&#8217;s start with an analysis of your organization or one with which you are familiar.
