We define organisational development as

Characteristics of OD
Organisational Development is planned
It is a whole organisation, holistic activity
It is supported by senior managers
It is used to increase the effectiveness of the organisation
It is implemented through planned interventions in the organisation's processes using behavioural-science knowledge
(Based on Beckhard 1969)

Problems with OD
Do people understand what OD can do for them?
They won’t unless we market ourselves and produce tangible outcomes that we tell them about
OD needs a stronger identity – a recognisable brand!
What does OD do?
Organisational Development –
views organisations as open systems acknowledges that change in one area of
a system always results in changes in other areas
recognises that change in one area cannot be sustained without supporting changes in other areas of the system.
What does OD do?
So, Organisational Development works
across the whole organisation at strategic, tactical and operational levels
and therefore needs to be managed or sponsored by a someone very senior

What does OD do?
OD work contributes to the sustained health and effectiveness of the organisation
OD work is based upon robust diagnosis that uses real data from organisational, behavioural and psychological sources
OD work is planned and systemic in its focus, that is taking account of the whole organisation
OD practitioners help to create alignment between different activities, projects and initiatives
OD work involves groups of people in the organisation to maximise engagement, ownership and contribution

The learning organisation
Learning is performance-based (tied to business objectives)
Importance is placed on learning processes (learning how to learn)
The ability to define learning needs is as important as the answers
Organisation wide opportunities exist to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes
Learning is part of work, a part of everybody’s job description
