Change as a collaborative process: Challenges for HRD professionals

In organizational change as a collaborative process, organizational development and human development go together in a continuous and ongoing process. It helps to understand the complexities organizations have to deal with and gives an understanding of the dynamics in organizations and the relationships between people. Organizational cultures and patterns become visible. New patterns are created, and the people involved get better and better at their play while developing themselves and the organization they are part of. Being able to contribute to this process is a rewarding challenge for professionals in human development. Since this change is interactive, HRD professionals can play a role in the complete change process together with other players.
