Synopsis "Atd's Organization Development Handbook"
Expand Your Knowledge of Organization Development to Enhance Your L&D EffortsATD's Organization Development Handbook is a tactical, hands-on book for those in learning and development looking to make that first step into organization development or those who are a one-person band doing both. While many books and textbooks exist on organization development-the effort to improve an organization's capability through the alignment of strategy, structure, people, rewards, metrics, and management processes--this volume is the first of its kind to address OD from the talent development and, specifically, L&D perspective.More than ever, L&D professionals are taking on organization development work to drive organizational effectiveness and performance. Sometimes this happens out of choice when seeking a new career challenge, and other times out of necessity when the organization adds OD to their responsibilities. In either case, L&D professionals need new knowledge and skills--as well as insight into how to utilize their analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation abilities--to become successful in creating OD solutions.Edited by OD practitioner and expert Brian J. Flores, this volume includes in-house experts and consultant contributors from the OD field itself as well as those who crossed over from L&D to OD. Readers will learn how to apply the foundations of organization development to their multiculturalism, upskilling and reskilling, soft skill development, and succession planning processes and programs.
