There are more men than women in OD in the Philippines. Many of them are young, with ages ranging from 30 to 40 years. They come from various academic backgrounds although half took up Psychology. • Majority of these practitioners work for business organizations. They are hired either internal or external consultants. OD in the Philippines 2010 @ LIHernandez
OD involves the total organization system although only a subsystem of the organization may be involved • OD views the organization from the systems approach • OD is a planned effort that involves systematic diagnosis of the problem, a program for the improvement of the system and a mobilization of the organization’s resources to carry out the program Concept of OD 2010 @ LIHernandez
OD is supported by top management • OD is intended to increase the organization’s competence and health. A healthy organization is one that manages its work toward goals commonly shared by members; and where decisions are made near the center of information, members are rewarded according to performance, communication lines are open, feelings are permitted to be legitimate part of the culture, win/lose conflicts between groups and individuals are minimal clashes centered on tasks and projects and not on interpersonal difficulties. Concept of OD 2010 @ LIHernandez
OD uses an OD consultant (3rd party agent) and the relationship between the client and consultant is collaborative • OD uses knowledge and techniques taken from the behavioral sciences, and emphasizes group and organizational processes • OD attempts to solve problems experienced by members of an organization and relies on strategies based on experience Concept of OD 2010 @ LIHernandez
OD uses action-research intervention which involves collating data about the system, a preliminary diagnosis of the situation, a preliminary diagnosis of the situation, feedback about findings, joint planning by the OD consultant or change agent and the client group, implementation of the planned action, and finally, a rediagnosis of the situation. The cycle of action-research is repeated necessary. Concept of OD 2010 @ LIHernandez
