1) Organisational development is a technique used to bring planned change across an entire organisation through utilising behavioural science, research, and theory.
2) The purpose of organisational development is to expand knowledge and effectiveness of people to accomplish successful organisational change and performance.
3) Organisational development involves both "hard" issues like strategies and structures as well as "soft" issues like developing appropriate skills, attitudes, behaviours, and culture within an organisation.

Steps in O.D.
Lawrence and Lorsch have provided the following steps
► 1. Problem Identification and Diagnosis
O.D. starts with identification of the problem in the
organisation and then diagnoses of the problem provide
its causes and determine the future action needed
► 2. Planning Strategy for Change
O.D. consultant attempts to transform diagnosis of the
problem into a proper action plan involving the overall goals
for change.
Determination of basic approach for attaining these goals and
sequence of detailed scheme for implementing the approach.
E.g Samsung
Dr. RAKSHA SINGH

Steps in O.D…
► 3. Implementing the change
Consultants play an important role in implementing
change
► 4. Evaluation
O.D. is a long term process ,feedback is taken and careful
monitoring is done to check that after implementation
O.D. programme is going well or not. Comparison of
pre-post training is undertaken to check whether new
implementation is effective or not

Characteristics
1.Humanistic Values :
► Optimistic beliefs about the potential of employees (McGregor’s
Theory Y)
2.Experiential Learning:
► Laboratory training methods based on experienced behaviour
are primarily used to bring change(the kind of human problems
employees encounter at work) The training should not be all
theory and lecture.
3.Systems Orientation:
► All must work together with technology structure and values
Dr. RAKSHA SINGH
12. Raksha Singh
Characteristics..
4.Problem Solving:
► Also known as action research, Problems are identified,
Corrective action initiated, progress assessed and adjustments
made where required
OD. seeks to build problem-solving capacity by improving
group dynamics and problem confrontation
5.Contingency Orientation :
► Actions are selected and adapted to fit the need
Dr. RAKSHA SINGH
13. Raksha Singh
Characteristics..
6.Change Agent
► Stimulate, facilitate and coordinate change .It is concerned
not only with changes in organizational design but also
with changes in organizational philosophies, skills of
individuals and groups.
7.Levels of intervention
► Problems can occur at one or more level in the organisation
so the strategy will require one or more interventions

According to R. Beckhard, "Organizational development is an effort (1) planned, (2) organization wide, (3) managed from the top, (4) to increase organization effectiveness and health and (5) through planned intervention in the organization's processes using behavioural science knowledge" .
Organizational development is a technique used for bringing change in the entire aspect of the organization, rather than focusing attention on the individuals.According to French and Bell, "Organizational development is a long range effort to improve an organization's problem-solving and renewal processes, particularly, through a more effective and collaborative management of organization culture with special emphasis on the culture of formal work teams with the assistance of a change agent or

You will realise maths physics are quite simple, with given formula you will solve the questions but dealing with human behaviour is quite tough because it constantly changes. Every time new formula
If reacher scold you, whether you attend the classes or give attendance in canteen
OD is about moving the organisation on by taking deliberate planned steps to create an environment that will enable staff to understand and deliver organisational objectives
Both harder and softer issues of OD need to be addressed to avoid conflict between goals and needs
0. D. is a long-term process. So there is a great need for careful monitoring to get process feedback whether the O.D. programme is going on well after its implementation or not. This will help in making suitable modifications, if necessary. For evaluation of O.D. programme, the use of critic sessions, appraisal of change efforts and comparison of pre- and post-training behavioural patterns are quite effective.
We already briefly touched on the goals of organizational development. The goals differ per organization. Goals can include increasing profits, profit margins, market share, moral and/or cultural values, and the general adaptability (or agility) of the organization.
If there would be one central goal, it would be increasing the organization’s competitiveness.
Competitiveness is the idea that every organization has unique resources and competencies that help the firms to win in the marketplace. This can be the people (a business leader like Elon Musk, or the Google team), an innovative product
1960, Douglas McGregor formulated Theory X and Theory Y suggesting two aspects of human behaviour at work, or in other words, two different views of individuals (employees): one of which is negative, called as Theory X and the other is positive, so called as Theory Y. ssumptions of Theory Y
Employees can perceive their job as relaxing and normal. They exercise their physical and mental efforts in an inherent manner in their jobs.
Employees may not require only threat, external control and coercion to work, but they can use self-direction and self-control if they are dedicated and sincere to achieve the organizational objectives.
If the job is rewarding and satisfying, then it will result in employees’ loyalty and commitment to organization.
An average employee can learn to admit and recognize the responsibility. In fact, he can even learn to obtain responsibility.
The employees have skills and capabilities. Their logical capabilities should be fully utilized. In other words, the creativity, resourcefulness and innovative potentiality of the employees can be utilized to solve organizational problems.
.OD. seeks to build problem-solving capacity by improving group dynamics and problem confrontation
There are seven characteristics of organizational development:
Humanistic Values: Positive beliefs about the potential of employees (McGregor's Theory Y).
Systems Orientation: All parts of the organization, to include structure, technology and people, must work together.
Experiential Learning: The learners' experiences in the training environment should be the kind of human problems they encounter at work. The training should not be all theory and lecture.
Problem Solving: Problems are identified, data is gathered, corrective action is taken, progress is assessed and adjustments in the problem solving process are made as needed. This process is known as Action Research.
Contingency Orientation: Actions are selected and adapted to fit the need.
Change Agent: Stimulate, facilitate and coordinate change.
Levels of Interventions: Problems can occur at one or more level in the organization so the strategy will require one or more interventions.
Organization Development (O.D.) is the systematic application of behavioral science knowledge at various levels, such as group, inter-group, organization, etc., to bring about planned change. Its objectives is a higher quality of work-life, productivity, adaptability and effectiveness. It accomplishes this by changing attitudes, behaviors, values, strategies, procedures and structures so that the organization can adapt to competitive actions, technological advances and the fast pace of change within the environment.

6. Change Agent: Stimulate, facilitate and coordinate change.
7. Levels of Interventions: Problems can occur at one or more level in the organization so the strategy will require one or more interventions. O.D. uses change agent (or consultant) to guide and affect the change. The role of change agent is to guide groups towards more effective group processes rather than telling them what to do. Change agents simply assist the group in problem solving processes and the groups solve the problems themselves.
Contingency Orientation: Actions are selected and adapted to fit the need.
Change Agent: Stimulate, facilitate and coordinate change.
Levels of Interventions: Problems can occur at one or more level in the organization so the strategy will require one or more interventions.
