Although the theory and methods of organization development (OD)
assessment and diagnosis have been covered in other books, there is
a lack of practitioner-focused guides that introduce real-world
case studies and tools rooted in the methodology. This book will
fill that gap, providing practical perspective and insight from
practitioners and consultants currently practicing OD assessment
and diagnosis. Organization Development (OD) differs from
management consulting in that OD assessment and diagnosis is not a
prescriptive consulting engagement. Instead, OD methods include
engaging clients to build change leadership initiatives customized
to their particular situation. OD is not about a consultant telling
a client company what to do. It is about an OD professional guiding
client companies on their journey towards the best end point for
their particular situation. This book will address that journey.
The theory and foundational principles of OD are covered, but the
primary focus is on providing practical applications to businesses.
While the book is grounded in sound academic theory, its strength
is its practitioner-focused methodology containing vignettes and
tools that individuals can use to help guide the assessment and
diagnosis efforts in their own or their client organizations.

vignettes, activities, and assessments to reinforce the material.

and personal growth. Career Flow and Development is an ideal
resource for courses in career planning. It can also be used by
