Reinventing Organization Development New Approaches to Change in Organizations

This book is based on the premise that organization development (OD) should be more relevant today than ever before and the observation that, by and large, executives ignore OD or relegate it to the bowels of the organization. We believe that it is time to take a tough look at the field. OD still has much to offer, but to continue pretending that all is well guarantees that OD will continue to struggle to find its place and its identity in today's world.

Foundation of Organizational Development CHAPTER PLAN AN OVERVIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

When an individual develops, organization develops automatically. OD refers to development of following elements of the organization: 1. Developments of individuals, teams and the organizations. 2. Development can only take place when an appropriate knowledge is achieved and passed on to subordinates. Hence it is necessary to study various fields of studies that contribute heavily to the field of OD. In this context, study of psychology, social and industrial psychology, economics, politics, commerce, medical, and sociology is important. These fields of study are already rich. OD envisages acquiring skills through already proved models and applying the same for improvement based on situations on hand.

The authors compare change management with traditional organizational development (OD) in terms of theory and analytical framework, the role of the interventionist, and intervention strategies. They argue that change management has the potential to become a discipline that can unite the different “thought worlds” operating in the field of planned organizational change.

Organization Development and Planning (OD) are two crucial attributed strategies organizations and institutions employ to accomplish specified objectives and maintain competitiveness, in this case, among educational institutions. Organization Development in the light and connection to planning promotes change. It improves organizational performance by increasing organizational effectiveness and health by providing planned interventions in processes situated by organizations or educational institutions, per se. Team building, leadership development, staff training and development, and process improvement are just a few strategies that can be implemented in line with organization development.
