In today’s volatile business landscape defined by rapid tech shifts and global competition organisations must evolve or risk obsolescence. Organisational Development (OD) provides the behavioural science framework necessary to manage this planned change, boosting both institutional effectiveness and employee well-being.
This book serves as a comprehensive guide for students and HR professionals alike, balancing foundational theory with real-world application. The curriculum is divided into two focused modules:
Module 1: Introduction to Organisational Development and Organisational Diagnosis
Covers the evolution of OD, the role of leadership, and systems theory. It places heavy emphasis on organisational diagnosis and the nuanced realities of power, politics, and ethics in practice.
Module 2: OD Interventions and Team Building
Explores practical applications, from traditional team building and Gestalt approaches to Grid OD and strategic management. It provides the tools to execute and evaluate interventions effectively.
