Description
Summary:OD stands for Organisation Development. It is about people in organisations, but let's be clear, OD is not human resource management (HR). OD is about the business, the organisation of business, and the business of organisations. Many OD concepts and practices have now become mainstream in New Zealand including: strategic planning, organisation design, process consulting, team building, conflict management, diversity awareness, action learning, appreciative enquiry, change management, leadership development, the importance of attending to organisational culture, the power of experiential learning and the concept of learning organisations. Today OD is used to solve both very practical problems, and very difficult problems.
