Understanding Organizations
The concept of an organization is to help a group of people to
reach their desire goals and objectives. Organizational
development is there to improve the organization performance
so that the destination can be reached easily. For this to
occur the task of the organizational developer is to
continuously monitor the external environment and the
internal culture to propose the necessary changes. In order to
understand this phenomenon we will be using a simple analogy.
A Simple Analogy

Habib Bank has their own way to diagnose the organization. The
Organizational Department in HBL co-ordinate itself with other departments.
Each department proposes new changes to the OD department. Then the OD
department takes their proposal and then recommends necessary changes and
the training, which has to be required.
Meezan Bank continuously takes feedback from their employees just to see how
they are going. The feedback is in the form of Questionnaires. With the help of this
survey, the process of Organizational Development becomes easier. Like recently,
the employees were not satisfied with the new location of the head office. This
was mainly due to security reason. As soon as the top management found about
this they immediately started Meezan Shuttle Service. A small air conditioned bus
with armed guards pick and drop employees from office to work.
Human resource was also the challenge. Nobody wanted to work for
them because the office was located on MA Jinnah (Security reasons)
