Just as every sports coach develops a plan that develops the talent on the team and designs the strategies and plays that the team will need to execute on to both develop and improve performance, so it is with Organizational Development.

An Organizational Development (OD) Framework is the playbook to build out the plan for increasing organizational capabilities, competencies, and effectiveness, so that the organization is more capable to achieve its desired future state. The OD Framework should be aligned to build the capabilities to leverage the opportunities and achieve the outcomes sought from your organization’s strategic plan.
