Introduction

Most of the studies reviewed did not utilize designs rigorous enough to adequately determine

the outcomes of the OD process. The present underdeveloped state of the art of OD evaluation

demonstrates that practitioners must: (1) determine appropriate measures for assessing;

(2) develop more adequate instrumentsfor measuring change related to OD; and (3) consistently
utilize more rigorous designs for their studies.

11.1 Organization Assessment

Assessment is concerned with providing feedback to the practitioner and organisation members
about the progress and the impact of interventions. Evaluation process considers both the
implementation success of the intended intervention and the long-term results it produce.
