Our organization development specialists partner frequently with various business verticals. What business areas do you have the most experience working with?
Organization development specialists work with specific groups on the projects they are assigned to, but they need a holistic perspective to succeed in many cases. Interviewers ask this question to get a sense of a candidate's breadth of experience working with the various business functions within a company, such as legal, finance, etcetera.
Remember to offer generic names for departments or verticals with organization-specific names. Also, do not use acronyms unless they are universally used, such as HR and IT.
"I have extensive experience working with HR and IT. They are typically involved in some way in every project I am assigned to. Additionally, I have partnered with legal, finance, accounting, properties, security, sales, and various operations groups."
