Organisational Development
Organisation development (OD) involves planned and systemic interventions in the on-going life of an organisation to achieve sustained organisational performance and improved outcomes for all stakeholders including staff. It focuses on developing the values, culture and structures of an organisation so that it can better adapt to new technologies, markets, and challenges.
OD can take many forms from micro change such as team building to macro change (whole of organisation change). Merit Solutions consultants have worked across the whole range of OD interventions both as internal and external organisational consultants. Our consultants have also worked with all sectors – private, public, education, community and not-for-profit organisations.
