What is Organisational Development?
Organisational development (OD) can play a vital part in harnessing the collective talent of your organisation, bringing about change and improving performance. It involves taking planned steps to create an environment that will enable your staff to understand and deliver your organisation's objectives.
These steps include developing appropriate skills, behaviours and attitudes, culture and a style of leadership that will enable the organisation to achieve optimum performance.
A clear sense of direction, strong leadership and a focus on people management issues including the management of performance and the promotion of learning, development, creativity and innovation are essential.
For organisational development to deliver significant performance improvement, you will need to develop staff with the right skills to help champion OD throughout the organisation and encourage wide participation and ownership of the continuous improvement process among staff and other stakeholders.
Within your organisation, training and development needs based on your organisation's vision and objectives, can then cascade down from a TNA, 360° exercise or perhaps even a development centre.
These in turn will highlight leadership and management development and personal development needs.
