, PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the current state of
organization development (OD), analyze emerging trends, and explore
the future implications of these changes for the field. As OD evolves
in response to economic, technological, and environmental shifts, this
chapter provides a comprehensive overview of how new methods and
diverse contexts are shaping OD practices. We will explore the growing
complexity and breadth of OD, including the expanding roles of various
professionals who contribute to organizational development beyond
traditional OD practitioners. The chapter also addresses the
challenges of defining and maintaining the field’s identity amid its
increasing diversity. By reflecting on these developments and
anticipating future directions, the chapter aims to offer insights
into how OD can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.
