ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT A practitioner’s guide for OD and HR
3rd Edition
Mee-Yan Cheung-Judge Linda Holbeche
M
ee-Yan Cheung-Judge and Linda Holbeche, experts in organisation development (OD), have crafted a reference
book for today that will help OD and HR practitioners to navigate the future and support their organisations and leaders through change. The book will also be of huge value for non-specialists – including global mobility professionals, those in international management struggling with change in complex global markets and managing people across borders and in unfamiliar territories – to dip into. Cultural issues, diversity and inclusion
are all part of the picture. How they fi t within organisational development is here to explore and adapt for your company’s own circumstances. The book is written in two parts as complementary insights. Updated for today’s world, it explores the role of HR in relation to OD and is relevant to anyone managing people who wants to understand more about how their organisation works, refl ect and review practice and navigate a future direction to regenerate and fl ourish. There is so much change to address
following the impact of the pandemic, technological advances as well as change in working practice and the workforce, not to mention across specifi c industry sectors from
manufacturing to supply chain. As well as updating for today, there are
three new chapters for the new world of work – on what is organisation health, how to build up the impact of OD in organisations and how to build a culture conducive to innovation. Organisations that can thrive in today’s
fast-changing environment need the ‘right’ people working in the ‘right’ ways, eff ectively and ethically managed and led, which the book explores in Part Two: HR in Relation to OD: theory & practice. You don’t need to be an expert yourself, but it is helpful for engaged leaders to know how OD and HR are evolving to ensure that they are well-versed enough to support their organisation’s growth or understand more about their customer or client’s perspective. With global talent shortages high on the
agenda again, how do you recruit or develop talent for the future and what will the skill sets be? How do you improve the quality of leadership? Dip into the agility and resilience chapter and you are already halfway there with useful pointers and check lists. On the subject of agility, Linda Holbeche is the author of ‘The Agile Organisation’, now also in its second edition. You can hear her thoughts on how to keep pace with change and put the wellbeing of people at the heart of sustainable organisations at our Future of Work Festival on 9 June.
THE NEW WORLD OF WORK Shaping a future that helps people, organizations and our societies to thrive
Peter Cheese
E
ssential reading for anyone who wants to get up to speed on the future of work by Peter Cheese, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute
of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the professional body for HR and people development in the UK. A good read that you can dip into, it is thought provoking and will help you to raise questions in your organisation and consider new ways of collaboration. Peter Cheese makes ideas, models and concepts accessible, but most of all his passion to support HR professionals in their role to put people fi rst in organisations and make a diff erence to leadership shines through. There is a crisis of trust in many areas of
society, politics and business. In these very diff erent times, we need a shift in mindset. The book off ers key capabilities and attributes for leaders that are important now and for the future. He sets out to, “paint a picture of all the things that are already impacting the world of work, as well as point to what is emerging. There are many knowns, and just as many unknowns, but we know that unchecked, the course we are on is not sustainable.” The book raises a lot of questions. The
more leaders can look outwards, explore and connect the themes he identifi es of organisation, work, workplace, and workforce in the context of globalisation, society and demography, economy, technology and AI, the more this will inform their decision making and actions. This new mindset should be encouraged as an essential part of business strategy, he affi rms.
