Organization development classics

The articles included in this compilation were culled from more than one hundred back issues of the OD Practitioner - articles that the editors felt represented the leading edge of the field, articles that have encouraged practitioners over the years to think broadly and deeply about the work they do and how they do it. In these pages, readers will gain a historical perspective on both the theory and work of organization development that will greatly inform their practice. They will discover reports and research that have moved the field ahead. They will gain an appreciation of the foresight the field's founders and innovators had regarding OD's possibilities and usefulness. And they will benefit from a wealth of innovative thinking as relevant today as when originally published - thinking that will continue to impact the practice of organization development for many years to come.
