Review of What OD Is OD is an effort planned, organization-wide,
from the top, to increase organization effectiveness and health through planned intervention in the organization’s processes, using behavioral science knowledge.
OD is a process of fundamental change in an organization’s culture.
Organizational Development, on the other hand, is any effort to improve an organization.

Market Need Focus on the benefit for your potential client,
not your methodology – there must be a pre-existing need (p. 186).
Decrease the number of eye injury accidents (Good value proposition)
Create a performance support system (Poor value proposition)
Increase the number of successful bids (Good value proposition)
Perform a task analysis of the of the bidding process (Poor value proposition)

Market Need You try it
Think of two examples of good value propositions and two examples of poor value propositions.
Provide a rationale for your examples.

Three Areas and Four Conditions for Value
Market and capability without passion gives you little motivation. You do not take “ownership” of the outcomes.
Remember the three consultant roles? You are a pair of hands.

Passion Without passion, the work is tedious. Rothwell et. al. recommends you isolate the
competencies and needs you are most passionate about, and focus on them.
I am most passionate about instructional design. In particular, the design, development, and implementation of performance support systems.
My consulting business targets the needs of specialty trade contractors.
WISE’s Marketing Plan is available for your review.
Share with the group your passion.

Three Areas and Four Conditions for Value
Need + Capability – Passion = Little Motivation
Need + Passion – Capability = No Real Cure
Capability + Passion – Need = Solutions to problems no one cares about
Combination of all three will make you an effective marketer.

Marketing and Positioning OD
Identify your buyer Economic buyer-has power to fund project. Feasibility buyer-sends your proposal
elsewhere for approval. Get around feasibility buyers by bringing the
economic buyer into the discussion.
What are your thoughts on getting around the feasibility buyers?

Marketing and Positioning OD
Establish routes to reach that buyer What can an external consultant do? What can an internal consultant do?
Work together to brainstorm some ideas.

Marketing and Positioning OD
Achieve conceptual agreement – some items to think about.
What are the deliverables? How will progress be measured? Who is accountable? What are the start and stop dates? What methodologies will be employed? What are the client’s options? What is your fee? How and when will you be paid? What are the guarantees?
Shirley J. Caruso, M.A. Human Resource Development Copyright 2011
Marketing and Positioning OD Let’s talk about your fee Then we’ll talk about the components of an
agreement

Effectively Engaging with the Client System
Front End Work Who is client/sponsor? What is the climate/culture like? Where do you come in? How will you demonstrate credibility?
Think about your practicum project. Share some thoughts on your sponsor, the climate, how you fit in, and how you will demonstrate credibility.

Assessment - Action Planning - and Implementation
Who have you involved in the project? What data is needed and how will it be collected? How will you analyze the data? What is your feedback strategy?
Action planning equals engagement.
Maintain engagement. Manage resistance (let’s look at page 265). Discuss resistance you have encountered and
how you overcame it.Conclusion

Did the Implemented Plan of Action Work?
Kirkpatrick’s four levels of evaluation. Phillips’ fifth level of evaluation. Share your plans for evaluating your
practicum projects.
Conclusion

Moving Forward After Closing an OD Engagement
What do you feel good about? What have you learned? What feels unfinished and incomplete? Are there actions to take?
Your practicum projects most likely represent organizational rather that organization development. Nevertheless, you can reflect upon them and decide on future actions. Will you terminate, recycle, or extend? Thoughts?
