The Death Of The OD Practitioner
In my recent book, ?Strategic Organizational Learning,? I made some controversial remarks about the continuing decline in the field of OD. Let me be blunt here: ?OD is dead.?
My comments and the comments of others, such as those of Jerry Harvey, have enflamed the passions of the few remaining adherents to the faith known as OD. David Bradford and Warner Burke have published a new book, entitled ?Reinventing Organization Development,? which appears to be a last stand to defend the faith. (I received a complimentary copy of the book this week. Considering my views of OD, it is quite a compliment indeed.)
For the uninitiated, let me briefly discuss what OD practitioners believe and why OD practitioners have failed to convert others to their beliefs.
