Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) is a practical, scientifically validated approach for improving organizational performance by actively and positively managing behavior at the workplace. Managing behavior should not be confused with 'changing people', nor should it be confused with 'manipulating people'. It is about creating a workplace that facilitates and supports maximum performance in an ethical way. To achieve this, leaders and other influencers must familiarize themselves with the basic principles that demonstrably drive behavioral change, leading to increased motivation and sustainable organizational performance. OBM principles can be combined with any best practice, methodology and business management philosophy you can think of. The principles are applicable to a wide array of organizational topics, such as improving processes, practices and value streams, emitting save behaviors and improving individual well-being. OBM answers the how-to-question when it comes to addressing performance and behavioral issues. Organizations are all about people. People must emit the right behaviors to make the organization successful and deliver value to the consumers first time right. Effective leaders and other influencers know how to positively build and maintain these behaviors.
