The Future of Organizational Development
From what I have learned about organizational development, I
do not believe it is a fad, or something that will become irrelevant, I believe
that organizational development is rapidly changing and growing as needed; new
models, techniques, and approaches to organizational development are being created
daily, and old techniques are being discarded.
Organizational development is geared towards increasing
organizational effectiveness; it involves the growth and development of the organizations
goals through the needs of its members. Organizational development provides the
organization with different strategies for adapting to change. As
organizational development advances, so does its course. The future course of
organizational development predominantly focuses on the issues of change management,
global competence and organizational transformation.
Change management
– positive change towards organizational productivity and the involvement of
enhanced training and technology awareness.
Global competence
– organizational structure will be value driven in order to compete in a highly
competitive market.
Organizational
transformation - drastic, abrupt changes are needed in order for the
organization to survive. Advances in media and communication technologies will aid
in achievement of organizational change.
However, theorists believe that further research should be
conducted on the relationship of the intervention process to other organizational
variables.
