The purpose of the course project is to help you demonstrate competencies in conducting an OD intervention. This project is called: My OD Intervention Project. You may select either a real organization or a hypothetical one. If you use a hypothetical organization, you should write reports as if you are engaged in an actual project. You are required to apply the concepts learned in this course in order to undertake a major change program in either a real or a hypothetical situation. It may be helpful to contact an organizational leader and ask him or her about a possible problem the organization is experiencing. You can use that conversation to frame your organizational selection and your OD efforts in the project. 
Assume the organization for your OD project is facing dramatic challenges for which senior management is asking for your expertise. As an OD professional, you will design and implement an intervention that will help the organization improve productivity, accomplish objectives, and engage employees.
Task 1—Select an Organization and Analyze the Problems

Identify your subject organization, including a summary      of key information about the organization.
Analyze the organization problems leading to a need      for change.
Propose the process for entering into an OD consulting      relationship with the organization.

Write a report including the following:

Name of your selected organization (you can provide a      disguised name of the selected organization). Determine if you will      approach the project as an external consultant or an internal employee,      and include a summary of key information about the organization.

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?

The problem(s) the selected organization faces. Analyze      the problems using the open systems approach by identifying where the need      for change arose and what areas of the organization are affected by the      need for change. 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?

If you were an external OD consultant, who you would      contact regarding working with this organization? What kind of information      would you need to include in a contract, and what kind of fee      structure would you develop?
