Mapping the field of organization development

What is organization development?

 Definition of Organization Development

 Organization Development (OD) is the work of facilitating organizational success, by aligning structural, cultural and strategic realities of work to respond to the needs of an ever-evolving business climate. This involves facilitating a deep connection between the best business processes and structures on the one hand, and the people working within the organization on the other. In short, it is to create great organizations!


Organization development as a discipline has evolved in a way that is true to to its heritage.  In our OD Practitioners Programme we explore over twenty definitions as part of our mapping of the field.  What we say here brings together the common themes, but it isn't a definitive answer and we would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

      Gokul,
      whatever context, Organization Improvement is the work of encouraging organizational victory, by adjusting auxiliary, social and vital substances of work to reply to wants of an ever-evolving trade climate.

      so it will works for global context as well.
