Organizational Change and Development

Change is the only thing, which does not change. World or Business environment is changing on every moment. For excellence or for survival, one needs to be fittest to renovate themselves according to those changes. Those who adapt and accept changes at quickest will be possessing competitive advantage while others will be left behind.

Organizational change for GBP is a structured approach in an organization for ensuring that changes are smoothly and successfully implemented, and that the lasting benefits of change are achieved.

Organizational Development is a planned effort, led and supported by top management to implement GBP by improving an organization's visioning, empowerment, learning and problem-solving processes. It is a collaborative management of organization culture using the consultant- facilitator role combined with the theory and technology of applied behavioural science.

Key Benefits of Organizational Change & Development for GBP

1. Transforms the organization to reach its best.

2. Helps to gain competitive advantage

3. Encourages creativity and innovation

4. Eliminates restraining forces and strengthen driving forces for the easy achievement of organization's vision

5. Organizational culture, systems and processes get aligned towards the vision and the business goals of the organization.

Training and Development

"Sharpening the saw" is very important to be efficient and effective. Employees need to be trained or sharpened to perform their roles better at present and in future in implementing GBP.
Organizational effectiveness depends upon the performance of the people within the organization. Thus conscious efforts need to be provided for the development of employees to reach at performance standards by inculcating the culture of GBP.

Both inbound and outbound training is conducted in following fields with emphasis on GBP using following skill sets:

★ Interpersonal effectiveness,

★ Leadership Development

★ Emotional Intelligence

★ Spiritual Intelligence, Ethics and Meditation

★ Communications and Presentation Skills

★ Empowerment & Culture building

★ Team Building

★ T Group and Sensitivity

★ Stress Management

In addition to Training & Development, we also offer services in counseling and mentoring towards internalization of GBP.

Psycho profiling & Assessment

Psychometric Assesment

Competency Mapping for GMP

People are assets. Worth of them in an organizational context depends upon the suitability of their personality, traits and competencies with respect to their role in the organization. If they are aligned, performance will be better, else proper actions like training and development, transfer, counseling, mentoring etc need to be executed.

During our practice with variety of interventions in the organizations, we discovered that Senior Management has strong need to know the behavioural strengths and challenges of employees at all levels. This will enable them to leverage the strengths and mitigate the risks of their weaknesses coming in the way of business results.

We are offering precisely this and also how they fit in with the work culture of the organization.

Objective is to clearly delineate the various behavioural patterns and characteristics of an employee and how they can get better fit in variety of teams or leaders within the organization. In a way it will also identify their behavioural training needs.

We do this through our customized instruments, assessment centers and interviews. A complete, realistic and customized psycho-profile of the employee is built through these processes.

Performance Management

Performance Mangement

"GBP cannot be implemented fully unless we manage the reward and punishment system through PMS. Hence employee performance needs to be accurately assessed and improved periodically in the service of GBP. We help in designing the PMS for GBP so that it becomes an enduring feature of the work culture.

Key Benefits of Performance Management System for GBP

★ It enables in implementing GBP

★ Employee performance gets accurately assessed towards the goal of GBP

★ Appraisal data can be used for various HR Functions like Training & Development, Rewards and compensation, Succession Planning etc.

★ Employee motivation gets altered

★ Minimize employee dissatisfaction and turnover, etc

Competency Mapping for GMP

 Psychometric Assesment

Competency is the behavioural manifestation of knowledge, skills and attitude of a person in achieving particular outcome. For example, I will have competency of communication if I achieve an outcome that is desired to be achieved through communication using knowledge, skill and attitude possessed by me to communicate. That communication can be either written, verbal, non-verbal or combination of these. For instance, if I have communicated to you the meaning of competency by this example then I have some competency in communicating. How much competent I am in communication can be measured through seeing this competency expressed in variety of settings.

Obviously, professionals of a particular field vary in their functional competencies. For example QA professionals require variety of competencies to perform their role well in making the Pharma Plant GMP compliant. Whole lot of knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA) will be required to get those competencies which come by exercising these KSAs in all kinds of experiences while performing their roles. Once we understand the competencies required for, say QA professionals, then we can hire the right people, train them to develop these competencies.This is the scientific way to enhance your effectiveness in getting the GMP compliant Plant in the shortest possible time. The same is true for Production, QC, Supply Chain, HR, Finance and other professionals required to make an enterprise successful. We are one of the pioneers in bringing the competency mapping framework in Indian pharma. It is one the most scientific methodology to train professionals and implement GMP effectively.

Training for Pharmaceutical Companies - GBP Pharma

Training for Pharmaceutical Companies - Good Behavioural Practices (GBP)

“At the heart of enduring success for any Pharmaceutical company lie Good Behavioural Practices- GBP”
Good Behavioural Practices - GBP emerged from our Behavioural Consulting with Pharmaceutical manufacturing Organizations. There is a business compulsion of implementing cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) in these companies if they have to get regulatory approvals for manufacturing and exporting medicines. In Indian context, getting regulatory approval from Indian authorities is an eye wash due to widespread culture of corruption. Majority of the Indian Pharma companies will miserably fail in regulatory compliances if strictly audited. Patient safety due to quality manufacturing practices does not seem to be important for Indian Pharma manufacturer. It is generalization, speaking for large majority of small scale and even medium scale set ups.

However, due to stricter auditing by International Regulatory Agencies such as WHO, US FDA, MHRA and the like, Pharmaceutical manufacturers cannot get or execute export orders unless they pass these agencies' audits. Result of this strictness is spate of disapproal of facilities of leading Indian companies like Ranbaxy, Aurobindo, RPG Life Sciences, Panacea Biotec and so on.

The real issue is that these big Pharma companies employ highly paid, technically qualified executives who fully understand cGMP but still they are failing these audits. It is not technical skill or knowledge which is lacking, it is the attitudes, mindsets, ethics and culture which is the biggest block in ethically implementing the cGMP

Good Behavioural Practices- GBP Audit

It is well established in our experience of consulting with Pharma organizations that cGMP cannot be implemented without first establishing GBP. Establishing GBP requires extensive cultural transformations. Where exactly in cultural and behavioural dimensions an organization stands will determine whether cGMP will be successfully implemented.

GBP Audit is a proprietary tool designed by UTSAV to enable Pharma organizations understand their readiness and maturity in implementing cGMP on enduring basis.

Objectives :

Objectives to attain GMP through GBP

It’s objective is to scientifically and methodically assess variety of cultural and behavioural dimensions at all levels of management that enable and disable implementation of cGMP on lasting basis and not merely to clear statutory/ regulatory audits.
