. My topic is DYNAMIC PROCESSES IN THE ORGANIZATION AND POWER DYNAMICS. And my two OD tools are Decentralized and Centralized structures. and The Institutional View and Organization Design.
This week, choose one of the two OD tools that you identified and outlined in Week 3 and expand on it, providing more depth and support. Write a 1-2 page resource for the chosen tool that includes more than 1 reference (at least 3). You could also consider interviewing someone who has experience with the tool for advice!
Provide detailed descriptions of the selected tool, including:
Purpose: Explain the purpose of the tool and what it aims to achieve.
Application Guidelines: Provide step-by-step guidelines on how to use the tool in an organizational context. You could even write about a real or hypothetical scenario.
OD Practitioner Overview: Write a generic overview of how an OD practitioner would approach helping a client with an issue on your topic, and how/if the tool would be beneficial.
Next, it’s time to bring everything together. Write a 1-2 page conclusion that ties together the insights from your exploration. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you craft a clear and engaging conclusion:
Summarize Your Key Findings: Begin by highlighting the most important points you discovered during your research. What were the central themes or key takeaways?
Compare and Contrast Sources: Discuss how the scholarly articles in your literature review compare with the “pop” or scholarly sources in your toolbox. Do they align, or are there discrepancies? Provide specific examples to illustrate this.
Effectiveness of the Tool: Evaluate the evidence (or lack thereof) supporting the effectiveness of the tool you reviewed. What did your sources say about its utility and impact?
Practical Application: Reflect on how a practitioner might use the tool in real-world scenarios. How could their experiences with the tool further inform or advance research on the topic?
