Environmental Design: An Expanded Behavior Research Framework for School Consultation and Educational Innovation.

Abstract

problem solving does not become effective and the OD process is not flowing until some plans are implemented.3. Structural changes. The OD process aims next to help participants transform the results of their problem solving into new definitions of roles and procedures. These new organizational patterns should be formally decided upon by participants, and agreements should be made about the action stages for carrying them out.An OD project is not complete until new functions, roles, procedures, or policies are built. These new staff structures must not be just ideas; they should be formal, institutionalized, and receive budgeted support. Adaptive, humanistic schools will not persist only on the basis of many of the participants' desires and energy to collaborate; they must also have organizational structures to support the humanistic norms.
