Abstract

Organization development (OD) is consistently described as an applied and values-driven field. While much has been written on the theory of values in the field, little has been written about values from the perspective of practitioner. Because values influence the way we think, feel, and act, it is essential to OD practice (from intervention and design to processes and methods) that dialogue which calls forth a value consciousness be kept alive. In this chapter, the topic of values in OD is explored in three stages. First, with an historic overview of values in the field; second, with an in-depth of account of a three-year collaborative research project exploring the topic; and finally, with a collaborative process which invites others to join in and expand the conversation.
