Within the first few months of releasing the program guidelines, it became clear that many organizations needed more than money. Some lacked basic knowledge and understanding of organizational development. Others were not convinced that OD work would have direct payoff toward accomplishing their missions. The Foundation has published this document to offer a framework for understanding and addressing organizational development, to make a case for OD as integral to achieving mission, and to share lessons from the experiences of 100 organizations in the Babcock program.
