Organisation development

What Is It?
At its simplest level, organisation development (OD) is about helping organisations deliver better outcomes through people. If you want your organisation to improve performance, you need to help people deal with current problems. You also need to be proactive and deal with anticipated problems as well.
Organisations look to OD for help with a variety of challenges:
- To build more effective and resilient teams. The challenge may be around helping teams to overcome turbulent or troubled times. OD can enable teams to recover and adapt – often helping the organisation to move beyond impasse and conflict.
- To plan and introduce change. Organisation leaders may know what change they want to achieve and need effective OD support to help them develop and introduce planned change in a systematic and productive way.
