BlueSkies Airlines made a breakthrough in the airline industry, known for poor customer service and disgruntled employees. The low-cost airline entered the market in 2012 and has managed to survive competition from major airlines. As BlueSkies grew and changed, a culture shift occurred. Some processes became outdated, prompting a critical need to proactively investigate the airline’s strengths, weaknesses, and areas needing transformation to prepare for the future. This led to a partnership between BlueSkies Airlines and OD Consulting Ltd. The CEO of BlueSkies sought an outside perspective from the OD team to help identify what was working well and what could be changed. The organisational culture at BlueSkies embraces change; thus, all employees within the company supported the decision to improve continuously. Once the project sponsor was approved, the OD team met with key stakeholders to develop a comprehensive contract outlining the scope of work and to establish clear roles and expectations. After the sponsor and the OD team agreed, the planning of this large-scale intervention began. One decision in the project's planning phase was to utilise a familiar tool to gain feedback from BlueSkies crew members. The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument, interviews, and focus groups with all departments were used to gain insight into the perceived strengths and weaknesses. Collecting and analysing the data was the first step in the change process. In addition, the OD consultant facilitated intensive weekly meetings for the first month to develop and execute an extensive action plan. Crew members were nominated to help implement changes to improve performance based on the feedback from the data collection.

Organisational Development and Change

Question 1: The General Model of Planned Change
Introduction

The general model of planned change is a structured framework used by organizations
to facilitate Organizational Development (OD) interventions. This model provides a
systematic approach to diagnosing, planning, implementing, and sustaining change
(Cummings & Worley, 2021). BlueSkies Airlines' decision to partner with OD Consulting
Ltd demonstrates the practical application of this model in addressing organizational
challenges.

1. Entering and Contracting Phase

This phase involves identifying the need for change and establishing a formal
agreement between the organization and external consultants. BlueSkies Airlines
recognized that its outdated processes required transformation, leading to the CEO’s
decision to engage OD Consulting Ltd. The OD team then met with key stakeholders to
develop a contract outlining the project’s scope, objectives, and expectations.
Contracting ensures alignment between the organization’s needs and the OD
intervention (Anderson, 2019).

2. Diagnosis Phase
