The term "deliberately planned endeavor to strengthen an organization's relevance and viability" (OD) describes this process.
Kurt Lewin, a German-American psychologist, was one of the first to apply social psychology, group dynamics, and social research to the workplace.
He developed the idea of organizational growth.
Since its inception, organizational development has become a well-liked and widely used technique for organizational transformation.
The fundamental tenets of the OD philosophy are largely humanistic, emphasizing enhancing organizational performance through employee empowerment.
