The: Organizational Development in a Law Enforcement Environment.
By Barbara French - Today's law enforcement organizations engage new organizational practices that focus on empowerment, teamwork, and participative management.

By Robert H. Rouda and Mitchell E. Kusy, Jr. - Learn how to implement OD in your organization. To be successful, OD must have the buy-in, ownership, and involvement of all stakeholders, not just of the employees throughout the organization. OD is usually facilitated by change agents -- people or teams that have the responsibility for initiating and managing the change effort.

By Tom Heuerman - Many people in organizations are in emotional pain. The suffering is sharp and searing--deep in the souls of so many. The source of much of this unnecessary anguish is, I believe, a worldview that alienates people from others, themselves, and the natural world.

For the practitioner who works from a complex or living systems perspective, describing culture is also vital—this time as a key part of the change process itself. This article espouses the second approach and outlines a number of ways of facilitating a rich collaborative inquiry into organisational culture.
