Understanding the OD

consultant¶s role He is a collaborator, not an µexpert¶

Working together with the client, not alone.

Information not existing, but to be collected. Consultant works not just with the µboss¶ but with

the whole group, but he respects power realities.

µSolution¶ is not with the consultant, but the

group. Consultant is jointly, not exclusively responsible.

Concerned about implementation.
