OD in Central Government: Problems and Prospects

Abstract

If the management of the civil service is to undergo a real (rather than cosmetic) improvement, action will be needed to generate a major cultural transformation in Whitehall. A sensible strategy would be to develop a distinctive organisation development model appropriate for public sector settings, using some existing contributions which could be integrated to form a groundwork: for example, the work of Miles, Tichy, and Beckhard.
