“…He further purports that a serious loss of system resilience only happens when the system gets trapped at some point in the cycle. Dervitsiotis [19] defined the point where an organization is impacted by an environmental shift as the strategic inflection point. As a result of the impact of this change on the system, new rules and assumptions alter the operating cognitive and structural expectations for the system.…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:Organizational resilience refers to the ability to respond productively to significant disruptive change and transform challenges into opportunities. There is a gap in the literature about resilient nonprofit organizations and its application for identifying organizational conditions for successful adaption to external variables that threaten their existence. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify organizational characteristics that point to the resilience of nonprofit behavioral healthcare organizations as they successfully adapt to funding changes. METHODS: A multiple case study of two behavioral health nonprofit organizations was conducted. Data was collected through interviews and focus groups, and analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. RESULTS: Using the framework of resilience, six themes that equipped these organizations to successfully adapt to funding changes were identified. They included: commitment to the mission, improvisation, community reciprocity, servant and transformational leadership, hope and optimism, and fiscal transparency. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that incorporating these qualities into an organizational system equips it to systematically adapt to funding changes and other disruptive challenges. Using resilience as a process and not simply an outcome after recovery, nonprofit organizations can have the capacity to continuously respond to challenges and provide uninterrupted and valuable services to society.

“…Continuous improvement also pursues the highest possible standard of excellence, although those criteria for excellence are based upon honoring principles of quality improvement rather than a commitment to divine authority (Dervitsiotis, 2003). Continuous improvement, Total Quality Management (TQM), and Six Sigma process improvement systems are based upon the ideals of eliminating 477 Repentance and Continuous Improvement errors and improving processes in a constant search for perfection (Jiju, 2007).…”

ApstraktSavremeno globalno tržište karakteriše turbulentni i veoma promenljiv karakter. Uz brze društvene, tehnološke i informacione promene, organizacije postaju sve složenije a konkurentnost sve jača, što doprinosi promenama u savremenim konceptima poslovanja. Današnja dinamika u kojoj neka organizacija postoji i funkcioniše, karakteriše se mnoštvom diskontinuiteta što primorava menadžment organizacije na napuštanje tradicionalnih pristupa upravljanja. Pri generisanju koncepta strategije mora se voditi računa o promenama kao sve dominantnijem faktoru uspešnosti neke organizacije, odnosno menadžment mora evoluirati u menadžment promena i u tom kontekstu kontinuirano se usavršavati. Rad predstavlja nastojanje da se na osnovu teoretskih i praktičnih istraživanja relevantnih stručnjaka u ovoj oblasti napravi prikaz u vezi prirode i značaja organizacionih promena u sadašnjim uslovima poslovanja.Ključne reči: organizacione promene, upravljanje organizacionim promenama NATURE, DIMENSIONS AND THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AbstractThe modern global market is characterized by a turbulent and highly variable character. With rapid social, technological and informational changes, organizations are becoming more and more competitive, and competitiveness is getting stronger, which contributes to changes in modern business concepts. Today's dynamism in which an organization exists and operates is characterized by a multitude of discontinuities that forces the organization's management to abandon traditional management approaches. When generating the strategy concept, changes must be taken into account as the increasingly dominant factor of the success of an organization, that is, management must evolve into the change management and in that context be continuously improved. The paper is an attempt to make a presentation on the nature and significance of organizational changes in the current operating conditions based on theoretical and practical research of relevant experts in this field.
