CFOC Week 4 Discussion

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the OD consultant’s role and the many elements of organizational culture.
• Find interrelationships between these elements and employee behavior and performance.
• Look for ways to assess organizational culture, both in terms of how it manifests in employee performance and impacts organizational results.

Then

Explain the OD practitioner’s role in the process of entering the organization and respecting the existing culture while concurrently recommending improvements and enhancements. What steps or measures can the OD consultant take to minimize fear and disruption?
