Organizational Development

The enabler for more soul in the workplace. 

Organizational Development that Makes a Difference

Organizational development (OD) aims at enhancing organizational effectiveness and employee engagement.
It takes a holistic view at culture, organizational structures, and processes, so companies remain successful, adaptable, and resilient in the future.

At tostep, we redesign the way work is set-up in companies in Switzerland and globally – through clear steps, tangible results, and a culture that empowers people.

FAQs: Organization Development with tostep

 Change often raises questions. To make it easier, we’ve collected the most common ones about our approach to organizational development. Here you’ll find clear and practical answers about what we do, how we work, and what you can expect when partnering with tostep.

What exactly is Organisational Development (OD)?

OD is a holistic approach to improving an organisation’s effectiveness. It combines structural, cultural, and behavioural changes to help teams and leaders work with more clarity, adaptability, and energy.

Classical change management often means top-down instructions that create resistance. OD, in contrast, redesigns how work is set up—so new behaviours become natural, sustainable, and aligned with the organisation’s goals.

  • Too much bureaucracy slowing things down
  • Low innovation rates
  • Low engagement or motivation in teams
  • Silo thinking and poor collaboration
  • Leaders struggling to implement strategy
  • Difficulty balancing compliance and agility in regulated industries
  • Cultural assessments
  • Training & development programmes (e.g. leadership coaching, AI adoption)
  • Team collaboration booster workshops
  • Change by Design (structural redesign for sustainable change)

We always begin by analysing the problem, its symptoms, and the surrounding context. This might take the form of a cultural assessment, a series of interviews, or a retreat. From there, we design a tailored approach for the specific situation.

It depends on scope. A focused workshop can deliver impact in a day. Larger culture or structure shifts typically unfold over months, with pilots and iterations to ensure lasting results.

  • Senior leaders who want strategy turned into action
  • HR and People & Culture teams building engagement and trust
  • R&D, Compliance, or IT departments in complex, global organisations
  • Any team facing high complexity, regulation, or fast change

A healthier, more adaptive organisation where people thrive, bureaucracy is reduced, and teams deliver stronger results with more energy and clarity.
