OD Intervention Strategies

What OD intervention(s) could potentially solve the organization problem, disequilibrium, or need for improvement? Why would the selected intervention be the most effective? How would it be implemented? . Here are some possible OD interventions that can help solve the problem of micromanagement:

Applying criteria to goals. Here the leadership establishes objective criteria for the outputs of the organization's goal-setting processes. Then they hold people accountable not only for stating goals against those criteria but also for producing the desired results.

In-visioning.This is actually a set of interventions that leaders plan with OD's help in order to "acculturate" everyone in the organization into an agreed-upon vision, mission, purpose, and values. The interventions might include training, goal setting, organizational survey-feedback, communications planning, etc.

Team Building.This intervention can take many forms. The most common is interviews and other prework, followed by a one- to three-day offsite session. During the meeting the group diagnoses its function as a unit and plans improvements in its operating procedures

Management/leadership training.Many OD professionals come from a training background. They understand that organizations cannot succeed long-term without well-trained leaders. The OD contribution there can...

Most organizations have at least some leaders who "say one thing and do another." This intervention, which can be highly threatening, concentrates on measuring the extent to which the people within the organization are behaving with integrity.
I picked Management training as the intervention because micromanagement is usually the result of past experience and background of the manager. The manager may have come from an environment, such as fast food and manufacturing, whereas micromanagement is an accepted management form or his micromanagement may be the result of a personal desire to maintain control and power. The first step would be to educate him that micromanagement is not an acceptable management style at Parks and to present some alternatives to micromanagement., such as delegation of functions and team-building.

Conclusion

Micromanagement is a serious problem in the distance learning because micromanagement, in the long run, saps the creativity and motivation needed for success in a competitive environment. A suitable OD interventions would include an outside consultant evaluation and management retraining and education.
