Organizational diagnosis
The practice of organization development is based
on an analysis and diagnosis of the circumstances
of the organization, the strategic, operational or pro-
cess issues that are affecting the organization and
its ability to perform well. As defined by Manzini
(1988: ix): ‘An organizational diagnosis is a system-
atic process of gathering data about a business organ-
ization – its problems, challenges, strengths and
limitations – and analysing how such factors influ-
ence its ability to interact effectively and profitably
with its business environment.’ This involves the use
of the diagnostic cycle with associated analytical
and diagnostic tools, which enable those concerned
with development to identify areas of concern that
can be dealt with in an organization development
programme.
