The purpose of the final project is to help you demonstrate competencies in conducting an OD intervention. This project is called “My OD Intervention Project.” Although the project is hypothetical, you should write reports as if you are engaged in an actual project. You are required to apply the concepts learned in this course to undertake a major change program in a hypothetical organization.

Assume the hypothetical organization is facing dramatic challenges for which top management is asking for your expertise. As an OD professional, you are required to make an intervention that will help the company return to profitability, increase its market share, and enhance employee morale. The duration of the project is six weeks.

This week:

Select an organization. The organization can be hypothetical or your current organization or any organization you are familiar with. Write a three-page report including the following:

Name of your selected organization. General Dynamics

Provide background information on the organization. How many people does it employ? In which industry does it operate? Is it a market leader? What types of products or services does it sell?

Identify the problem(s) the selected organization faces. What is the nature of the problems the organization faces? How severe are these problems? Are these problems specific to the organization or common to most organizations in the industry? What do you think are the root causes of these problems?
