What is Organizational Development and Why It’s Essential for Your Business
Organizational development (OD) is a systematic approach to improving the effectiveness of an organization through planned interventions that align its structure, culture, and processes with its goals and strategies. OD aims to enhance the overall health of an organization, foster a positive work culture, and drive sustained growth by improving performance, communication, leadership, and employee engagement.
