What We Can Learn from Evaluating OD Interventions

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of the course textbook, read the following articles,  What We Can Learn from Evaluating OD Interventions (Links to an external site.) ,  The Benefits of Creating A Diverse Workforce (Links to an external site.) , and  What Are the Advantages of a Diverse Workforce?  (Links to an external site.) , and watch the video,  How Can You Influence Others?  (Links to an external site.) .

Last week, you prepared the foundation of your final project by selecting a case study and applying the appropriate action research process to the OD challenge. Based on your knowledge of intervention types, you proposed a recommended interaction for the challenge. This week, you will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of individual, team, group, and organizational interventions, and what they look like during problem solving and decision-making.

You will explain the actions used during your selected intervention and comprehensively apply the process to the case study. The paper must be at least two full pages in length, and must include the course textbook as a reference, as well as three additional scholarly and credible sources to support the content of the paper.
