Organisational development is a crucial aspect of every business. It helps organisations to develop their ability to navigate change. This is an essential aspect of a business, as throughout the lifetime of a business, it will undergo numerous changes. Organisational development is a science based process, and it allows businesses to improve processes, strategies and their approaches to projects.
Part of organisational development is the ability for organisations to develop and improve strategies that allow them to prepare for and accommodate change within an organisation. Change strategies are essential for organisations to be able to continue to improve their performance, increase staff retention, improve productivity, develop innovative practices, and stay competitive.
Organisational development relies on effective evidence-based research. It utilises and cites scientific workplace, psychological and cultural studies and research to help to create processes for change. Instead of relying on assumptions and ideas to create strategies for change, organisational development involves utilising scientific evidence to form effective change strategies. This ensures that the strategies that are put in place are more effective.
Organisational development strategies are effective in shaping and driving the culture within the organisation. Focusing on the organisational development of a business identifies the developmental needs of the organisation, through a wide range of diagnostic tools and methods. It also allows you to articulate the value of change and organisational development within the business.
