Скачать или смотреть Skills for Organizational Development Consultants

There have been many attempts to define the set of skills and competencies that a practitioner needs to be considered a fully competent organization development professional. Some of these efforts have been conducted by individual researchers, some have been sponsored by professional associations, and some have been associated with a college or university OD program. Each has offered a different set of skills and competencies, and a single approach has not yet been adopted.

Moreover, these skill and competency definitions differ in whether they describe interpersonal skills, behavioral skills, or knowledge of content areas needed to be successful. One researcher lists six competency categories to achieve success: using interpersonal skills, managing group process, using data, contracting, implementing the intervention, and maintaining the client relationship. In a list that has been revised more than a dozen times since the late 1970s, there are no fewer than 187 essential competencies for internal and external OD consultants.
