Development
What is Organization Development (OD)? This chapter introduces
OD - a process in which organizations:
- Establish goals and translate them into the jobs that people do everyday
- Direct resources to high priorities
- Give people what they need to get the job done
- Reward achievement and initiative
These are the building blocks for successful, strong organizations. Whether
yours is a new organization or an existing one, the OD process can bring
benefits for years to come:
- Goals drive Actions
- Employees have a sense of ownership
- Fairness prevails
- Leadership is effective
- Productivity climbs
- Results are high quality, on time and within budget
Could OD help your organization become stronger? This chapter covers
the reasons that organizations pursue the OD process. It also shows how
to determine if OD can help your organization succeed - including an exercise
to identify and prioritize areas for action.
