    Organizational development is a planned, managed intervention using behavioral science knowledge to increase an organization's effectiveness. It addresses needs caused by changing workforces, technologies, economies and social trends. The process involves anticipating and diagnosing needs, planning and taking action, then evaluating results. Interventions include training, surveys, process consultation and team building. Successful change depends on readiness, high-quality solutions, and overcoming resistance through education, vision, participation and support. Outcomes are improved in about half of efforts.
