    Summary of Findings and Implications forOrganization Development and Human

    Resources

    Business Leaders across a wide swath of industries see opportunity for

    HR and OD related work

    There is considerable room to improve the perceived effectiveness of

    organizations in areas that business leaders consider very important.

    A high percentage of business leaders are likely to invest in OD over the

    next three years, with about half planning to invest about the same, and

    more than another third planning to invest more.

    However, OD as a distinct field or function is barely even on the radar

    screen for much of the work that OD could/should be helping with.

    Business leaders usually go elsewhere, at least initially, for the support

    they need and want (especially line management, HR, and consulting

    firms).

    OD needs to work with line management to support them, transfer their

    knowledge, and exhibit a high degree of flexibility to make it happen.

    Findings call for further inquiry as to ODs fundamental identity,marketing, branding, and positioning with executives and line managers.

    Summary of Findings and Implications for

    the Organization Development Community

    Nonprofit Leaders across a wide swath of industries see opportunity for

    HR and OD related work

    There is considerable room to improve the perceived effectiveness of

    organizations in areas that nonprofit leaders consider very important.

    A high percentage of nonprofit leaders are likely to invest in OD over thenext three years, with about half planning to invest about the same, and

    more than another third planning to invest more.

    However, OD as a distinct field or function is barely even on the radar

    screen for much of the work that OD could/should be helping with.

    Business leaders usually go elsewhere, at least initially, for the support

    they need and want (especially line management, HR, and consultingfirms)

    OD needs to work with line management to support them, transfer their

    knowledge, and exhibit a high degree of flexibility to make it happen

    Findings call for further inquiry as to ODs fundamental identity,

    marketing, branding, and positioning with executives and line managers

    Conclusions and Next Steps

    Promote awareness of survey results: Disseminate andfacilitate dialogue about and use of findings with key stakeholders(HR, OD, line management, professional organizations, academics,etc.)

    Continue to evolve Nonprofit Sector Team: Recruit otherswith expertise in and passion around organization development andnonprofits to join us in exploring how Organization Development asa profession can add value to US-based nonprofit organizationsand empower them to deliver their missions more effectively Define Organization Development within the larger context of

    capacity building in nonprofit organizations

    Make available online a list of resources that OD professionals working

    in the nonprofit sector have found helpful (ideally in a wikipedia-typeformat), along with a summary of how OD is understood and used in thesector.

    We co-create the conditions and invite people to come into theconversations that are important to the people in the organization andthe organizations sustainability

    Key Question: How do we purposefully engage with the natural tendenciesto self-organize rather than doing something to employees,manipulating or coercing them?

    Methods:

    Identify and interview key representatives from companies which are

    committed to moving towards sustainability for lessons learned,best/next practices.

    Create how tos and Case Study examples to illustrate

    Examine companies that have great employee engagement initiativesbut have not applied to sustainability

    Business Strategy Action Team (BSAT)

    BSAT plans to produce a reference guide for senior executives interested in utilizing OD principles and

    practices to improve overall business performance (late 2006, working title only Strategic TalentDevelopment Investments: A Reference Guide for Business Executives).

    The Scope Team has recommended the following focus areas:

    What measurable value does OD offer to profit & nonprofit organizations?

    How Can clients recognize an OD opportunity

    What benefits may clients expect from OD interventions?

    What professional competencies should clients consider in selecting a consultant to pursue potential OD benefits?

    The ROI team has recommended:

    Expanding focus beyond ROI formula to business performance metrics

    Defining the role of metrics within OD, focusing on tangible (quantifiable) and intangible (non-quantifiable) benefits

    of OD initiatives on business results

    Examining metrics targeting key OD/talent development areas of a) business impact; b) processes andapproaches; c) learning organizations; d) OD/talent development department performance; and e) individual

    OD/talent development program performance

    The Systems team has summarized key topics covered in the latest OD practitioner literature to outline the

    headings to be included in the new executive reference guide.
