The ATD Organization Development Handbook is a comprehensive guide for individuals in the field of learning and development who wish to embark on their journey into organization development or for those who are operating as a one-person band responsible for both roles. Despite the abundance of books and textbooks on organization development, which aims to enhance an organization's capabilities by aligning strategy, structure, people, rewards, metrics, and management processes, this handbook stands out as the first of its kind to approach OD from the perspective of talent development and, more specifically, L&D. In today's landscape, L&D professionals are increasingly taking on organization development responsibilities to drive organizational effectiveness and performance. This may occur as a choice for individuals seeking new career challenges or as a necessity when OD becomes part of their organizational responsibilities. Regardless of the context, L&D professionals require a fresh set of knowledge and skills, as well as an understanding of how to leverage their analytical, design, development, implementation, and evaluation abilities, to succeed in creating OD solutions.

Edited by experienced OD practitioner and expert Brian J. Flores, this handbook brings together in-house experts and consultant contributors from the OD field itself, as well as individuals who have transitioned from L&D to OD. Readers will gain valuable insights on how to apply the fundamental principles of organization development to their multiculturalism, upskilling and reskilling, soft skill development, and succession planning processes and programs.

By expanding their knowledge of organization development, L&D professionals can enhance their effectiveness in driving organizational change and achieving strategic goals. The ATD Organization Development Handbook provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to advance their career in this field and make a positive impact on their organization's success.
