Excerpt from Back to the Future: Recapturing the Od Vision
I found myself very impatient with this questionnaire but until the invitation to write this paper came, I did not really stop to analyze what my feelings were all about. What I then realized is that the source of my impatience and irritation was the very format of the questionnaire because it implied things about OD that I have never accepted and that reflect, in my view, a real corruption of what was originally a grand vision.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on a compelling journey to rediscover the essence of Organization Development (OD), tracing its roots back to the visionary concepts that emerged in the early 1950s. The author contends that the field of OD has undergone a transformation, potentially losing sight of its original aspirations due to the influence of technological advancements, economic pressures, and evolving cultural trends. Delving into the historical backdrop of OD, the author recounts personal experiences and insights gained from the formative years of the field. Central to this exploration is the concept of "process consultation," a philosophy that underscores the significance of understanding and intervening in organizational processes to foster sustainable growth and effectiveness. The book critically examines the forces that have reshaped OD, including the commodification of techniques, the allure of quick fixes, and the emphasis on measurable outcomes. It challenges the notion of OD as a mere collection of tools and techniques, advocating for a return to the core principles of client involvement, collaborative problem-solving, and a deep appreciation for the unique dynamics of each organization. By re-embracing the fundamental values of OD and integrating insights from the field of clinical psychology, the author proposes a path towards revitalizing the field and unlocking the true potential of organizations. This book serves as a timely reminder that genuine organizational development goes beyond superficial interventions and demands a profound understanding of human systems and the art of facilitating lasting change.
