Organizational Development (OD) planning is a strategic approach to enhancing an institution’s effectiveness, adaptability, and culture. It focuses on improving structures, processes, and people to align with the organization's mission and long-term objectives.  By following this structured OD plan, organizations can build a more resilient, high-performing, and future-ready workforce.

Organizational development planning for IT schools involves strategizing ways to improve the overall effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the institution.

Strategic Planning:

Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the IT school's mission, vision, values, and strategic goals.
Engage key stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and industry partners, in the strategic planning process.
Develop a strategic plan that outlines priorities, objectives, action steps, and performance indicators for achieving the IT school's long-term goals.
