Organization
development can be practiced in various types of organizations in both the
private and public sectors. Historically, OD was mostly practiced on industrial
and manufacturing organizations, but recent OD work has grown to include
service organizations and unique settings that have a need for the disciplined
and planned approach to change. Identify and discuss the unique characteristics
a non-industrial organization in education, health care, or a family-owned
business with which you are familiar.
REAL LIFE
APPLICATION:As an OD practitioner, what would your role be in this setting to
facilitate change? Why are these steps different from another setting, such as
industrial, for example? Make sure to come back and add to this discussion
throughout the course.
