Chapter 57: A Powerful Organization Development Resource that Remains Overlooked

This chapter looks at the major alignments that SEAM and the values of ODJ have in common and the resource potential that this methodology has for change leaders. The topics covered are the importance of people’s contribution to change, inclusion of the entire system, systems thinking, listening to all the stories about the organization, tying change to the bottom line, social responsibility, and hybrid consulting. All elements together make a powerful resource that has been overlooked in the change field. The goal is to make readers globally aware of the importance of this methodology and the usefulness that it has as a tool for change.
