ABSTRACT
Both of you (HR practitioner and line manager) are, in your different ways, leaders of the OD project. This chapter starts by asking you to think about the particular skills that an OD project requires you to have. In the collaborative approach, that this methodology is based on each participant plays a different role. Presented are some ways of working out your own role in relation to other people’s roles in the design process. Following this is an explanation of what to do in each phase, with a short discussion on the importance of being clear about your own and the other participants’ capabilities.
