Some notes
related to CDI-Seattle, Milwaukee CDI, and Colorado CDI
Organization
Development & Change,
Thomas Cummings and Christopher Worley, South-Western College
Publishing, Cincinnati, 1997 (or most recent edition). As part of your
200 pages read chapters on "Diagnosing Organizations", "Collecting and
Analyzing Diagnostic Information", and "Feeding Back Diagnostic
Information". These are chapters 5, 7, and 8 in the 6th edition
An
alternative Organization Development text
-- Another set of
readings may substitute for the Cummings & Worley text. Stay with the
text if you can find a copy -- it is generally considered the best
available in the field. Worth having for the program and the future.
However if you
have a difficult time securing a copy or the price you can get it for is
too much --
The alternative is
two books; you will need to have both of them. "Organization
Development", French and Bell, 6th edition and "Organization
Development" 2nd ed., by W. Warner Burke. |
