诊断是一种对组织当前如何运作的理解过程,为设计组织变革/发展干预措施
提供必须的信息
成功的【进入和签约】,奠定诊断成功的基础
该过程帮助客户和OD共同决定应集中力量解决的组织问题,如何收集和分析数据,如何协作以确定组织诊断的具体行为步骤
在另一种意义上,诊断一直发生
管理者、组织成员和OD总是尝试理解组织有效性的驱动因素、变革是如何/
为什么以特定方式进行
Unfortunately,thetermdiagnosiscanbemisleadingwhenappliedtoorganizations.Itsuggestsamodeloforganizationchangeanalogoustothemedicalmodelofdiagnosis:
Anorganization(patient)experiencingproblemsseekshelpfromanODpractitioner(doctor);thepractitionerexaminestheorganization,findsthecausesoftheproblems,andprescribesasolution.Diagnosisinorganizationdevelopment,however,ismuchmorecollaborativethansuchamedicalperspectiveimpliesanddoesnotaccepttheimplicitassumptionthatsomethingiswrongwiththeorganization.
遗憾的是,诊断在组织应用中常被误解:
存在问题的组织(病人)到OD(医
生)寻求帮助;OD检查组织、寻找问题成因、提出解决方案
组织发展中的【诊断】比医学中的诊断更强调合作精神,并且反对“组织可能
出了问题”的潜在假设

指导OD的职业价值观和道德信念指出,组织成员和变革推动者应参与到发现
当前组织更有效的决定因素
同样,组织成员和变革推动者积极参与到构思合理的干预措施,以及参与实施这些干预措施

诊断的医学模型暗示“病人出了问题并且需要寻找病因”。
组织有具体问题的情况下,诊断是问题导向的,诊断是寻找问题的成因
相反,客户和OD可以选择组织变革一种新的视角,积极化解问题。
此外,客
户和OD可能正在寻找增强现有组织功能的方法。
许多管理者没有遇到具体的组织问题,亦参与到组织发展(项目)中。
在此,诊断是发展导向的,评估组织当前功能,发现未来可发展的空间。
举例,部门功能良好,管理者可能对使用OD改进部门有兴趣。
诊断可能包含对“部门绩效有关的能力”进行全面的评估,也包含评估部门对个体成员的影响是怎样的。
这个过程揭示部门未来发展的具体领域
Inorganizationdevelopment,diagnosisisusedmorebroadlythanamedicaldefinitionwouldsuggest.ItisacollaborativeprocessbetweenorganizationmembersandtheODconsultanttocollectpertinentinformation,analyzeit,anddrawconclusionsforactionplanningandintervention.Diagnosismaybeaimedatuncoveringthecausesofspecificproblems,focusedonunderstandingeffectiveprocesses,ordirectedatassessingtheoverallfunctioningoftheorganizationordepartmenttodiscoverareasforfuturedevelopment.Diagnosisprovidesasystematicunderstandingoforganizationssothatappropriateinterventionsmaybedevelopedforsolvingproblemsandenhancingeffectiveness.
在组织发展领域,诊断比医学定义中应用更广泛。
诊断是组织成员和OD合作
的过程,收集相关信息,分析信息,得出关于行动计划和干预措施的结论
诊断可能瞄准发现特定问题的原因,专注理解有效的进程,给评估组织和部门
的整体功能提供指导,以发现未来发展的领域
诊断提供了对组织的系统性理解,这样为解决问题提高绩效制定合理干预措施
对诊断模型的需求

【进入与签约】导致对组织整体或部分、流程、特征进行了解
为诊断组织,OD和组织成员就收集和分析哪些信息,需要有明确的主意
选择寻找哪些信息,取决于“组织如何被感知/领会”
这些感知包含“组织如何运作”的直觉性预感到对他的科学解释等方方面面
人们用于理解组织的概念框架被称为“诊断模型”
这些模型描述组织不同特征之间的关系、环境及背景、有效性
因此在评估组织如何运作时,诊断模型指出了要检查哪些领域以及要问哪些问题
However,allmodelsrepresentsimplificationsofrealityandthereforechoosecertainfeaturesascritical.Thepositivemodelofchangesupportstheconclusionthatfocusingattentiononthosefeatures,oftentotheexclusionofothers,canresultinabiaseddiagnosis.Forexample,adiagnosticmodelthatrelatesteameffectivenesstothehandlingofinterpersonalconflictwouldleadanODpractitionertoaskquestionsaboutrelationshipsamongmembers,decision-makingprocesses,andconflictresolutionmethods.Althoughrelevant,thosequestionsignoreothergroupissuessuchasthecompositionofskillsandknowledge,thecomplexityofthetasksperformedbythegroup,andmemberinterdependencies.Thus,diagnosticmodelsand

所有的模型都是对现实的简要描述,对特定要素的选择最为关键
[thepositivemodelofchange]支持这样的观点:
把注意力集中在某些特征上,排除其他因素,会导致带有偏见的诊断结果
解决组织呈现的问题并确保综合全面,需要谨慎的选择诊断模型和诊断过程
举个例子
一个将团队效率与处理人际冲突方式联系起来的诊断模型,会引导OD询问有关“成员之间关系、决策过程和冲突解决方法”的问题。
尽管相关,但这些问题忽略了其他一系列的可能因素,如:
知识技能的构成、团队执行任务的复杂性以及成员之间的相互依赖性(工作设计)
