ABSTRACT
Now that Chapter 1 has given you an introduction and overview of organizational assessment and diagnosis from a practitioners’ view and has discussed some of the theory you will need in order to apply these learnings in your own organization, we want to officially start your learning journey. This chapter will discuss the methods for diagnosing and assessing organization development (OD) at organization-, group-, and individual levels. We will also explore how to evaluate effectiveness at each level. Central to this chapter are the ties between an organization’s strategic plan and the alignment of talent strategy, structure, technology, culture, and external competitive market strategies.
