Organization development is an organization-wide, managed process using behavioral science knowledge to increase effectiveness. In the past, OD focused on short-term productivity and treated employees as costs rather than assets. Contextual trends impacting OD's future include more diverse, educated workforces; greater technology use like e-commerce; and networked, knowledge-based organizations. Going forward, OD will be more embedded in operations, technology-enabled, interdisciplinary, and concerned with continuous organizational improvement in diverse, global contexts. Managers and organizations will need more flexible, learning-oriented, collaborative employees and environments.

6. Contextual trends and their effect on
OD’s Future
ECONOMY
WORKFORCE
TECHNOLOGY
ORGANISATION

7. THE ECONOMY
Cultural diversity – Governments face the difficult choice of preserving their
culture ant the risk of being left out of the global economy.
Income distribution – globalization of the economy is closely related to an
increasing concentration of wealth in relatively few individuals, corporation
and nations.
Ecological sustainability – there are increasingly clear warnings that the
ecosystem no longer can be treated as a factor of production and that
success cannot be defined as the accumulation of wealth and material goods
at the expense of the environment.

8. THE WORKFORCE
Diverse – organizations, whether they operate primarily in their home country
or abroad, will need to develop policies and operating styles that embrace the
changing cultural, ethnic, gender and age diversity of the workforce.
Educated – the workforce is becoming more educated. A more educated
workforce demands higher wages, more involvement in decision making and
continued investment of knowledge and skills.
Contingent – the continued high rate of downsizings, re-engineering efforts,
and mergers and acquisitions is forcing the workforce to become more
contingent and less loyal.

9. TECHNOLOGY
Internet – the backbone of global economy.
E-commerce – an economy that knows no boundaries. It involves buying
and selling products and services over the internet.
Two types of E-commerce relevant to OD’s Future
Business-to-consumer – garners much attention and awareness because it
is how the public participates in E-commerce.
Business-to-business – more complex

10. ORGANISATION
Organization involves increasingly networked and knowledge based
nature of organizations. The interventions help organizations become
more streamlined and flexible, more capable of improving themselves
continuously in response to economic and other
trends and more effective.
Networks – are highly adaptable and can disband and
reform along different task or market lines as the
circumstances demand.

11. ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE:-
➢More embedded in the organization's operations
➢More technologically enabled
➢Shorter OD cycle times
➢More interdisciplinary
➢More diverse in client
➢More cross –cultural
➢More concerned with organization
