Wikipedia-Article "Organizational Development"
Organization development, according to Richard Beckhard, is defined as:
- (1) a planned effort
- (2) organization-wide
- (3) managed from the top
- (4) to increase organization effectiveness and health
- (5) through planned interventions in the organization's 'processes', using behavioural-science knowledge"
(Smith, 1998, p261. Training and Development in Australia.)
According to Warren Bennis, organization development (OD) is a complex strategy intended to change the beliefs, attitudes, values, and structure of organizations so that they can better adapt to new technologies, markets, and challenges.
Warner Burke emphasizes that OD is not just "anything done to better an organization"; it is a particular kind of change process designed to bring about a particular kind of end result. OD involves organizational reflection, system improvement, planning, and self-analysis.
Definition
At the core of OD is the concept of an organization, defined as two or more people working together toward one or more shared goals. Development in this context is the notion that an organization may become more effective over time at achieving its goals.
