  Reflect on the meaning of organizational development. What is organizational culture?

Organizational development refers to a planned process that affects or changes organizational culture. Through such development, an organization can change from how it operates to a new way or it can change its values. Organizational culture refers to the process in which an organization conducts its operations. Organizational culture can be a set of moral values or beliefs that are used when the organization is conducting its processes.

What does Dr. McNair tell us about using science?

Dr. McNair tells us that science is a set of data or information that are needed to make an organizational change. Science tells people about what information is available and how important it is and what should be done with such information so as to change an organizational culture through organizational development. Science is important because it can come in form of technology that has proven to work so that it can change the way an organization will operate in the future.

Do you agree with his ideas on this subject?

Yes, I agree with the proposals of Dr. McNair and what he is telling us about science its role in organizational change development. It is always important to consider the impact that an organizational change will have on the employees (McNair 2016). Through the use of science, an organization can take a step to go forward as to whether it will continue to use the traditional methods for the new proposals will be better in the long-term running of the organization. Science is therefore the key to the change of organizational culture and operation.

What did you think of the OD consulting model?

OD consulting model is a significant model that has to be taken into consideration before any organization decides to make a cultural change. In most cases, culture change can be important because it will lead to the organization becoming more effective as compared to the current status. Nonetheless, scientific approvals can be key towards the organizational development consulting model. It is also a model that is more simplified to help the employees understand the reason for the change and how it will give the organization a competitive advantage.

The key concept that has been discussed in the video is best on organizational development. Every organization has to develop in one way or the other so as to improve on its service delivery for profit-making. Most of the changes that have taken place in the past are instigated by technology including moving from paperwork to a computerized environment. Such changes come as a result of an organizational development that is instigated by a scientific Discovery that ensures that the organization will run efficiently with the new proposals. This video has also stated that it is always important to have a scientific backing of any proposal for organizational change. It is important to consider the role of the employees when making organizational change.
