Haphazard v/s Planned Change

Haphazard Change: • It is forced on the organization by the external

environment.• This type of change is not prepared at all.• It simply occurs and is dealt with as it happens, a

practice sometimes called firefighting.

Page 3: Chap-4 OD Practitioner

Haphazard v/s Planned Change

Planned change:• It results from deliberate attempts to modify

organizational operations in order to promote improvement.

• For e.g. TQM [Total quality manangement] which focuses on continuous improvement.

Page 4: Chap-4 OD Practitioner

External and Internal PractitionersExternal Practitioners• Not previously associated

with the client system• Have increased leverage

and greater freedom of operations

• Do not depend upon the organization for raises, approval or promotions

• More independent attitude about risk-taking and confrontation with the client system.

Internal Practitioners• A member of the

organization, either a top executive or a member of HR department.

• Familiar with the organization’s culture and norms and behave accordingly

• Know the Power-structure, are known to employees and personal interest in org’s success.

DisadvantagesExternal Practitioners• Unfamiliar with the

organization culture• No sufficient knowledge of

the technology• Unfamiliar with the culture,

communication network, formal and informal power system

• Difficulty in gathering Information because they are outsiders

Internal Practitioners• Lack of specialized skills

needed for org. development

• Being known to the workforce is also a disadvantage

• Do not possess the necessary power and authority, are sometimes in a remote-staff position and report to a mid-level manager.
