What is the relationship between organizational development and organizational strategy?

Our August 15 program meeting was on “Supporting Strategy Implementation,” presented by Jeff Stone and Nick Craig of Potentia Consulting. We learned the “law of organizational gravity,” the limitations of the strategic planning process, and, in particular, the method of backplanning and its value in increasing the success of strategic planning.

As with many of our programs, this is one served to foster connections between the OD community and other areas of practice, in this case strategic planning – a key concern of all organizations, but not generally of OD practitioners. Hence our “Question of the Month” is “What is the relationship between organizational development and organizational strategy?”
