Birgit Kuester October 18, 2021 Proposal

Hello everyone. It's time to talk people management again. Today, we want to clarify for you what Organizational Development in short.

Use behavioral science and knowledge
There are so many change efforts out there that are not scientific, you have to be aware. We highly recommend for an all the intervention to be successful. You leverage your internal organizational data, but also rely on scientific data 50% of the time. So, next time when a partner comes, and says we need a change process, now you know what to consider.
