Abstract | This paper discusses differences among schools in their readiness for organizational development interventions. The author begins by outlining criteria for organizational success. He then discusses two variables that have been found important in assessing readiness to profit from organizational development; i.e., readiness for collaboration and ready access to novel ideas or the "variety pool." The author suggests that schools must adapt any organizational development strategy to meet local problems. Consequently, "failure" to adopt prepackaged innovation is often a successful use of resources in meeting a local problem. Systematic effort by a client does not always require "success," but only that the school feel it has learned something and is likely to spend less effort than before on working toward desirable outcomes. The author concludes by suggesting that the most "innovative" schools are not necessarily the most effective. (Author/DN) |
