Organization dynamics is the practice of continually enhancing employee performance and making resources stronger, through goal-oriented strategies and hands-on management. It's important to plan divisions within a company strategically and give each division a particular set of measurable goals which all parties involved can work towards. Depending on workers’ schedules and skill sets, they can be paired with similar employees to be the most productive.

The key player in organizational dynamic strategy is the project manager. This individual can make sure that every worker is meeting his or her maximum potential, and can create an open forum for employees and vendors alike to meet on common ground. Establishing trust within the company and the idea of holding one another accountable are two driving forces of this practice. Organizational culture can be modified when necessary to create a more productive and profitable work environment.
