Weisbord suggested in 1976 that there were six key areas in which things must go right if an organisation was

to be successful. This model, The Weisbord Six Box Organisational Model proposes a diagnostic approach for identifying the key areas to be addressed when developing or implementing a strategy or change in an organisation (figure 2.3).

The field of organizational development, ?Helpful Mechanism? is one of the most important elements of Weisbord Model. It is concerned with the performance, development, and effectiveness of human resources through the application of technological solutions. In today?s technological age, technology provides simplistic solutions, to complex work environment, and procedures. Hence, it increases productivity, and work efficiency within the estimated operational costs. It is one of the six sigma of Wiseboard Model. It is a hybrid technological solution, and its scope extents to organizations with strategic planning through data, and report generation, organizational performance evaluation, through various matrix analysis, team building through action research, leadership development through the implementation of decision system. It is part of a system as a whole that allows management to operate, and change organizational culture through performance improvement, which can easily be achieved by implementing organizational knowledge management system to facilitate organizational learning; thus, process improvement is achieved through innovation and creativity, succession planning, and quality management. In simple words, ?Helpful Mechanism? is a support system that serves as a backbone to all the elements of Weisbord Model for the purpose of achieving shared goals. In any organization across the industry, external environments play an influential role. External environment can be politics, state, and federal laws, and collective bargaining power of union. These elements influences corporate behaviors. They demand organization change, which is inturn implemented by Weiseboad model as a business solution
