Od Techniques - Ppt Download

Hello All,
During any course regarding Organization Develpment techniques, we have learnt various ways like : Sensitivity Traning, Quality Circles, Feedback mechanism etc.
Are these techniques used by following a standard format?
Or are they customised to suit the organization?
Can anybody who has implemented these techniques, please share the methodology and outcome with us.
Thanks

I haven't seen sensitivity training used in many years. In the US it has a bad reputation. When OD first got started, some organizations had people take part in sensitivity training. They were encouraged to speak freely to each other. However, after the event people got back to work and realized that they had been far more vulnerable than they should have been. The training made it appear that the political realities had been removed. It was only later that those trusting souls realized that they had seen things that would get them in trouble. . . I urge you to think carefully before considering sensitivity training as an intervention inside an organization.
Quality circles are part of an overall quality improvement effort. I imagine you can find a lot about them by doing a Google search. The most important thing is that they support an overall quality process. They usually cannot stand along as an intervention that an OD person would use.
Hope this helps.

pls find the attached

Hello Promila ,
U can know more abt Kaizen & other systems mentioned by doing a bit search online. But besides that they all are production systems which are used by the Japanese Automobile company Toyota. Toyota is also into using many other production systems like JIT, gigo. Though not much but I hope to provide a basic idea.
Ok bye
