What is Organizational Development?
The field of organizational development is intended to apply the behavioral sciences to organizational effectiveness and performance. Organizational Development Resources use a variety of planned change methodologies, the primary mode of which is called Action Research. Consultants work with an organization as an interrelated system, knowing that one part can impact the whole. There is a fairly standard process to any OD intervention.
At the beginning of any change effort is the diagnostic phase, where management and employees are surveyed and interviewed to determine the current state of the organization, the desired results, and concerns about upcoming changes. The intervention is developed or fine-tuned based on the results of the initial diagnosis. Initial change goals may also be refined as a result of the diagnosis. Planned change is implemented and evaluated; this is communicated at the beginning of the process, during its implementation, and celebrated when it is complete. Assessments and surveys are always used at the beginning of a project; they may also be used during a project to "see if we're getting it right" and potentially redirect the effort, and at the end, to evaluate its success.
We work with large corporations, as well as smaller companies, consulting firms, educational institutions, and government agencies. We can design and implement an entire project, or simply provide the tools and analysis. Whatever your requirements, we are pleased to assist you.
We bring diagnostic tools, methods, and analysis, as well as feedback and implementation models.
