Your questions for us
What do we mean by Organisation
Development?
An approach to making organisations more effective - aligning people,
strategy and processes in order to deliver the organisation’s strategy
Underpinning beliefs
– a belief that organisations are people and they can change
– a belief in building organisations’ capacity to change and renew
themselves
– a respect for what everyone has to offer – democratic and
participative
A way of looking at organisations that is both
– An approach or mindset
– A set of tools and expertise
What is an OD strategy?
A route map identifying areas for focus to help the organisation
become more effective - aligning people, strategy and processes
What makes it different?
From an L&D or HR strategy – focus on breadth?
From a business strategy – focus on internal?

First order : Definition of the territory
What is OD for your organisation?
What value does OD add?
Integrated or separate?
Second order : building blocks
What is the driver for creating this
strategy?
What difference will this make?
If you don’t do this, what will
happen?
Are you asking questions or trying to
provide answers with your strategy?
Purpose Context
Staying connected to the
external environment
What else is out there in
the organisation?
How can you integrate
this?
What is realistic?
Core Principles
Integrated: not attaching a separate ‘OD’ thing on top of everything else
Systemic : seeing the organisation as being interconnected as a living system
Participative : ensuring voices are heard from across the organisation
Dialogic: recognising the power of conversation
Diagnostic: not getting stuck in diagnosis, maintaining a future focus
Second order : building blocks
Third order : Strategy considerations
Stakeholders
Who does this need to speak to?
How are you connecting with them?
Where does the power lie at the
moment with relation to this work?
Who else needs to be involved?
How are you selling this?
Results
What will success look like for an
OD strategy?
How do you plan to evaluate and
measure?
How will you explore learning from
both the process and content of this
work?
Third order : Strategy considerations
Structure What model may help provide a
structure?
Are you considering diagnostic
activities as interventions in their own
right?
How can you keep this realistic and
pragmatic?
Content Are you covering the whole
organisation?
What model might support you?
Diagnosis of where you are now, how
will you explore this?
What is important, who says it is
important?
Have you got priorities to provide a
container for this?
Third order : Strategy considerations
Notice the process is as valuable as the content and results
– What is proving challenging / easy?
Are you paying attention to where the energy is in the system, what insight might
this offer?
How clear are you on your role and what you bring to this?
– What is your contract?
– What are you drawn to, or not?
Third order : Strategy considerations
