Briefly, organizations are complex living systems that are capable of thinking, learning and actually adapting to environmental or contextual shifts. Organizational development will lead to a change in the nature and quality of relationships within an organization and among organizations. Understanding organizations as human systems comprising formal and informal arrangements is critical to understand how change can happen. In order to do this, it is important to analyze carefully the organization design and to map stakeholders and their relationships. Using organization development means assessing internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities and threats, to design appropriate interventions to help the organization perform better.
