Module 4 Discussion - An accurate diagnosis of an organization’s

MODDB4

write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

An accurate diagnosis of an organization’s problems will lead to the implementation of specific organization development (OD) interventions. The right OD intervention can help to ensure that you are solving problems effectively and reducing resistance to the change.

There are multiple benefits that OD interventions bring to an organization. Because change is a constant process of discovery, evaluation, and action, an effective OD intervention can yield substantial and valuable improvements in organizational efficiencies.

Examples of OD interventions include the following:

• Team building
• Employee training
• Management restructuring

When effective, these interventions can enable corporations to enhance their competitive edge in several areas.

Choose one of the examples listed above (or one that you familiar with) and discuss the following with your classmates:

• What is an example of the OD intervention you chose?
• What kinds of organizational problems might be solved with the OD intervention you chose?
• What happens if an OD intervention does not solve an organizational problem?
