Organization Development: Not so mysterious after all?
What is organization development (OD)? Google it and you’ll find a hundred definitions. In his book Organization Development, Dr. Donald L. Anderson defines OD as “the process of increasing organizational effectiveness and facilitating personal and organizational change through the use of interventions driven by social and behavioral science knowledge”. Well, glad we cleared that up! Meanwhile, back in the business world, many learning professionals find themselves confused by the foreign language of OD and bewildered by the array of OD interventions at their disposal. So, what is - and what isn’t – organization development?
Learning Objectives:
-
Define organization development.
-
Explore the primary roles played by learning professionals in today’s organizations and identify where OD fits within these roles.
-
Review types of organization development interventions.
-
Apply the GAPS! organization development model to a case study.
