A Memorable Quote from the Episode:
“OD (Organizational Development) is all about improving organizational effectiveness through implementing the strategy of the business. This strategy cannot be implemented unless you take careful regard to the particular culture of the organization. How you get things done is through people and that’s what OD is all about.”
