Description:

**Organizational Development (OD)** is a strategic, systematic approach aimed at improving an organization's effectiveness, adaptability, and overall health through planned interventions in its processes, structures, and culture. It involves diagnosing organizational issues, designing and implementing solutions, and evaluating the results. OD focuses on enhancing communication, decision-making, leadership, collaboration, and employee involvement across all levels. It plays a crucial role in managing change, aligning organizational goals with employee performance, and fostering continuous improvement.

This subject introduces various OD models and techniques such as action research, team-building exercises, sensitivity training, survey feedback, and organizational restructuring. It also addresses challenges like resistance to change and the importance of leadership in driving transformation. By focusing on both people and processes, OD supports long-term sustainability and growth. Understanding organizational development equips professionals with the skills to lead change initiatives, improve organizational culture, and create a more responsive and innovative work environment—making it essential for HR managers, consultants, and organizational leaders.
