This exercise requires you to interview two organization development practitioners about how they go about doing their work. Compare and contrast them in terms of the following issues:

• Their background.

• The values they espouse.

• The steps that they say they use in approaching a consulting assignment.

• The tensions they identify in working as an OD practitioner.

• Their perceptions of the way the OD field has changed and likely will change into the future.

What general conclusions do you draw about the practice of OD?
