Organisational Change & Development

Organisations change - owing to external factors, internal factors, or both - sometimes randomly or chaotically, sometimes according to a development plan - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, sometimes to replace one set of problems with a different set.

External factors might include changes in legislation, market demands, or externally imposed mergers (for example), while internal factors might include changes in the distribution of resources, in key personnel or in shifts in the balance of power.

Organisations affected in this way include primary and secondary schools, further and higher education establishments and their departments, psychological services, social work services, other welfare agencies, voluntary agencies, local councils and their departments, central government and its departments, and so on.
