ORGANIZATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
OD is the practice of planned,
systemic change in the beliefs,
attitudes, and values of employees
for individual and business growth.
OD aims to enable an organization
to respond better and adapt to
industry/market changes and
technological advances.
Those organizations that successfully
implement OD tenants often exhibit
higher levels of organizational agility:
successfully navigating new
challenges with speed and minimal
disruption.

renewal.
