Organizational development emphasizes on the uniqueness of every organization

As a matter of fact, most operational development systems implement broad changes in organization largely overcoming resistance through individual and/or small team efforts. Change agent is the integral feature of most organizational development programs. These are usually external consultants with tremendous experience in managing programs based on operational development, though some entities use inside managers.

The main advantage of ushering in external consultants is that they often provide a less biased and different perspective of the organization’s needs and problems. The main drawback of external change agents is they lack an understanding of company-specific key issues.

Additionally, external consultants have huge trouble in securing the cooperation and trust of the organization’s key players. These are the main reasons why few entities employ an internal/external team approach that combines the advantages of external and internal change agents. Any successful organizational development project not only looks at the people, but also at the culture and systems within which they operate.
