What is organisation Development (OD)?

The profession of organisation development (OD) addresses the performance of an organisation as a whole, identifying the barriers and synchronicity between the various systems, structures, processes and relationships that contribute to organisational effectiveness. OD Focuses on the behavioural including attitudinal and motivational aspects of organisational life with the key intent of enabling people.  Much research and the experience of executives and managers indicate that the critical success factor in determining the outcomes of any organisational strategy or initiative is the engagement and commitment of the people responsible for its implementation.  Specifically workforce composition, capability and culture.  This is where and OD consultant makes a difference. Those organisations who have real experience of working with organisational OD practitioners experience the achievement of targeted solutions relevant to their business context. They have learned that  quick fixes are not likely to achieve the return on investment sought.

Differing from Human Resource practitioners in their focus on the whole of business rigorous infrastructure of enablers, OD consultants work to deliberately stimulate the conditions in which people can give of their best and the organisation can survive and thrive in its context.  We enable clients through our in depth competency and experience with organisational behaviour and management science to assist organisations in identifying and building on the current strengths and eliminating the root causes of internal barriers to performance.  

OD is a process of holistically embracing both the strategic and human aspects of an organisation's operating environment, our services provide sustainability through explicitly surfacing and transforming the cultural and behavioural enablers and inhibitors thus facilitating the organisation operating through and across its parts more effectively.
