Describe the activities you typically include when planning an organization development initiative.

While everyone will have a slightly different answer to this question, interviewers will expect candidates to cover certain project planning standards within their response. Remember to include scope definition, budget planning, activity brainstorming, high-level analysis, and approvals within your response.

"The entry phase of an organization development initiative includes the planning functions of identifying a high-level scope and timeline. After the diagnosis phase, the feedback process begins. The results of the high-level analysis are tested, and the scope of the initiative is refined. From there, the parties involved move to detail the bodies of work required for the projects and offer estimates. A detailed action plan and budget are created, reviewed, and approved. The planning for an organization development initiative ends at this point, and the solution phase begins."
