ORGANIZATION
DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGIES

They are managed, or at least strongly

supported, from the top but may make use of
third parties or ‘change agents’ to diagnose
problems and to manage change by various
kinds of planned activity or ‘intervention’.

The plans for organization development are

based upon a systematic analysis and
diagnosis of the strategies and circumstances
of the organization and the changes and
problems affecting it.
ORGANIZATION
DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGIES

They use behavioral science knowledge and

aim to improve the way the organization
copes in times of change through such
processes as interaction, communications,
participation, planning and conflict
management.

They focus on ways of ensuring that business

and HR strategies are implemented and
change is managed effectively.
