Enterprise Organization Development Maturity Model
- As organization development (OD) practitioners, we are helping make OD a discipline accessible to everyone in the organization. We help our clients to lead, work effectively with others, run productive meetings, and build successful organizations. With recent focus on leadership development, management best practices, and change management capabilities, many are integrating organizational development practices into their work.

My premise for developing the Enterprise Organization Development Maturity Model is that the more people who use OD practices as a natural part of their work, the more visible and prevalent OD will become. And the more visible and prevalent the field of OD becomes, the more it can be recognized as the central discipline to creating and maintaining healthy organizations.
