Organizational Transformation

Nonprofit organizations are critical to achieving mutual benefit. They do not seek profit but

are committed to specific causes. Some nonprofit and charitable organizations receive

contributions and service from individuals and other organizations to meet diverse human needs.

Every person is expected to have basic survival requirements met. Some nonprofit organizations

are recognized for providing financial assistance to the impoverished to educate, feed, house and

obtain other essential survival necessities. The development of a nonprofit organization is

appreciated to get a range of assistance (Greiling, Harris & Stanley, 2016). Such groups are in

charge of restoring assistance by providing medicine to patients. Charitable organizations

encouraging children’s education are critical to children's future job development. They assist

youngsters in realizing and working toward their goals. Some parents cannot afford their

children's education expenses in today’s economy. Nonprofit groups offer such parents hope.

Charitable groups have also been able to offer shelter for some homeless persons. Food is

necessary, and no human being should go to bed hungry.

The underprivileged and those suffering from hunger have been provided with food thanks to

the efforts of nonprofit organizations. It is necessary, as a result, to formulate distinct plans that

would make it possible for organizations of this kind to realize their ultimate objective of helping

humanity. The less privileged members of the community will have the opportunity to enjoy life

to the fullest and be happy due to their actions. They will be able to engage in routine activities

such as going to school, dressing, and eating like other individuals in society. People in the

society who are suffering from a lack of access to food have been helped tremendously by

nonprofit groups like Feeding America (Parris & Peachey, 2013). They also react to food crises

around the country, aiding many people in the process. For the business to effectively

accomplish its strategic objectives, it must first develop appropriate action plans.

Management is an essential component in the effective operation of an organization to

accomplish its objectives. The assistance of managers is necessary for successfully executing the

best plan of action while also allowing for the modification of strategies that are not producing

the desired results (Park, 2017). Planning, organizing, leading, and controlling are important P-

O-L-C elements that ensure an organization can achieve its desired goals. Using the P-O-L-C

function of management will ensure that there is effective performance in an organization.

Nonprofit organizations such as Feeding America need to appropriately identify and plan the

proper ways to ensure that they accomplish their need to help humanity. Using the P-O-L-C

function of management to ensure that there is effective performance in an organization.

Planning is an essential process that provides a structure that enables an organization to establish

goals and choose actions to take to attain those goals. During the stage of planning, decision-

making is an extremely important component.

An organization's leaders are positioned to choose the company's purpose and vision and then

direct employees' efforts toward realizing those goals. Charitable organizations such as Feeding

America must plan to identify the financial and human resources necessary to accomplish their

mission. The organization is critical in companies because it enables management to determine

the resources and human capital required to carry out their responsibilities. This framework is

used by organizations that aim to benefit the public good to locate partners who may support and

assist in achieving their goals. For example, the mission of Feeding America is to assist hunger

crisis victims and other members of society who need access to food (Greiling et al., 2016). As

more time passes, more individuals turn to the group for assistance. Therefore, the Leading role
ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT 3

is required to guarantee that the organization's stakeholders can coordinate and regulate the

escalating circumstances. Controlling is essential to ensure that the performance of the company

is in line with the objectives that have been established. It gives leaders the ability to check if the

plans can be carried out via the organization's performance.

Plan of Action

Using the P-O-L-C framework in the management of organizational activities will make it

possible for the organization to devise distinct approaches to managing change. Both positive

and negative effects may result from organizational shifts and adjustments. Some individuals are

used to their routines and may find adjusting to new conditions challenging. However, to

effectively design and execute the P-O-L-C framework inside the company, it is necessary to

change some of the routines and build new methods of carrying out tasks. The organizational

goal is to ensure that they can provide food nationwide to serve hunger victims and low-income

families. For instance, during COVID-19, 98% of organizational food banks reported an increase

in those who needed support obtaining food. This indicates that the need for such assistance has

grown (Thompson, 2020). Donations and other forms of financial support were required to keep

up with the constantly rising demand. Approximately 67% of the food banks were short on food

and were looking for volunteers to assist them in meeting their needs.

The P-O-L-C structure is, therefore, vital to guarantee that the organization prepares for

potential crises in the future and puts into action methods to adapt to changes of this kind. As a

result, the organizations need a robust framework that will foster efficient planning,

coordination, and control to achieve the organization's objectives (Park, 2017). For the

organization to be successful in achieving its objective, it must work with its donors from all

over the world to devise efficient methods by which they may get resources, as well as make
ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT 4

financial investments in food-related initiatives. Leaders play a significant part in determining

whether or not an organization successfully achieves its objectives. Achieving the organization's

aims requires effective administration of its resources and distribution of its responsibilities

(Greiling et al., 2016). Therefore, the leaders of Feeding America need to devise strategies to

acquire funds with their partners and use the donations to accomplish their mission of ensuring

that no one, including children and parents, live with ongoing empty stomachs. This mission

requires that they ensure that no one goes to bed hungry.

Recommendations

For companies to successfully adopt the P-O-L-C structure, they need to make it a

communal duty and work together to accomplish the objectives they have set for themselves.

When it comes to putting the framework into action, leaders are an essential component. They

must accept the responsibility of managing the company across all four dimensions to go

forward. The fact that the Feeding America organization has leaders familiar with the complexity

of the organizational environment will make it easier for the organization to devise effective

strategies for dealing with the impending catastrophe. Leaders should be able to identify the

appropriate partners, donors, and resources needed to maintain organizational operations over

time to fulfill their responsibilities (Parris & Peachey, 2013). They need to make sure they can

devise strategies that will entice benefactors and business allies to contribute to the organization's

success in running efficiently.

Employees and workers need to work towards achieving a certain goal. Having

employees who follow their authority in performing their work is essential. Employee discipline

is another factor that helps them focus on their tasks to increase innovation. Feeding America

experiences the issue of lack of inventory (Park, 2017). Lack of inventory hinders organizations

from implementing new ways of performance to increase productivity. The organization should

therefore ensure that the leaders use their skills and knowledge to help the other employees work

efficiently to support the organization's goal.
