Could your organisation benefit from high efficiency and increased productivity? The obvious answer is yes. A good way to achieve these outcomes, and a myriad of other benefits, is through dedicated Organisational Development (OD). OD is the practice of planned, systemic change in the beliefs, attitudes and values of employees for individual and company growth. The purpose of OD is to enable an organisation to better respond and adapt to industry/market changes and technological advances. Those organisations that succeed in implementing the tenants of OD often go on to exhibit higher levels of organisational agility: successfully navigating new challenges with speed and minimal disruption.

Consider the current context within which organisations are operating and assess the importance of organisational development in this context. (25)
