How to OD
. . . And Live to Tell About It
"In many ways, OD is much like playing the game of chess. There are some basic values and principles by which we approach our organization development work, yet the combination of situations, choices, strategies, actions and processes seem to be endless. OD, as in Chess, has very few 'rules' but a lot of choices and challenges. And, this is reflected in why those of us in the field have struggled with defining it and characterizing it in a concise and understandable way to others. On the other hand its basic values and principles are so obvious that it is easy for the novice to think, 'I know that. What's the big deal?' Yet to apply those values and principles to their ultimate benefit is a considerable challenge."
