Can You Spot What's Unique About This OD Process Flow Chart? Share Your Thoughts!

Dear All,

Here is the flow chart of the OD process prepared by me after studying a book by French and Bell. Can anybody guess the peculiarity of the OD from this flow chart? Please also let me know your views on the overall OD process.

Regards, Manish

Your flowchart is not clear. You need to break it down further and soften your vocabulary.

This is only 1% of what OD really is...

OD doesn't only mean sensing something is wrong but can be deliberate change for the good, or leveraging on something that is good, or reengineering new systems, processes, methods, and ways! If you need more know-how on this, I can explain it from a practical view!

Nice chart! Although, I agree with Kenn, you have to take some more inputs as well. Theory is not beautiful in reality. You nearly got all of it, but I think there is always a scope for improvement. Keep up the good work.

I just want to appreciate your efforts and want to mention one thing - do a bit more study and try to refer to some more books on OD so you get a clearer picture.

Take care,

OD is an ongoing, never-ending process. It changes with newer technology, knowledge, working tools, conditions, laws, political situations, resources, and many other factors. One has to keep evolving development strategies all the time to combat bottlenecks and bring about overall efficiency. OD is not limited to tackling the in-hand or immediate problems but to evolve future strategies to be in a leadership position. So your mind is always at work, even when you are in a subconscious mode during your sleep.

Hi Kenneth,

This is designed as given in the book only. Maybe my understanding is wrong. Please enlighten me further. I am really passionate to know more about OD practically.

Thanks, Manish

Hi all,

This is what I wanted to depict: the peculiarity of OD as a never-ending process. If you look at the flow chart again, there is no "STOP" step in the process.

Thanks, smbhappy!
