Project for Organizational Development

Project Description

The scope of this project is to provide a reference for work training that would be useful for an organization and their clients as they both communicate and specify a project plan for change. Both the internal and external consultants will be benefited by the outcomes of the project. We will be proposing a strategic plan which when implemented to any organization will result in the profitable organizational change.

Purpose of the Project

Organizations are always under an ever growing pressure to quickly adjust to the global market, Environmental and regulatory pressures to survive and to maintain competitiveness. The adaptation pressure is evident in the growing outsourcing incidence, cost-cutting, acquisitions and mergers for the uptake of the transformation and the new technology. We have recognized that the organization and the people that are employed there are commonly uncertain about the change. They perceive no actual profit one way or the other. Our aim of this project is to make this ambivalence resolved in order to make people to adopt the change because of the advantages that the change can bring (Pierce, 2009). This we will try to achieve through the organizational development project. We have selected this approach of taking individuals, teams, groups and the entire organizations through a strategic plan.
