Assessing Planned Change

Jerry I. Porras

Kerry Patterson

In order for planned organizational change to advance in both theory and practice, there must be a concomitant advancement in the willingness and ability of change agents to assess the change process effectively. This paper explores the current OD assessment milieu and proposes a model to help clarify assessment. Each feature of the model is defined, and charac teristic problems are discussed in light of current methods and theory. As a means of summary, guidelines are proposed to enhance the assessability of potential change activities.
