Jamieson, Ph.D., Experiencing Organization Development: Practice through Case Studies and Role-Plays offers a unique approach to mastering complex concepts in Organization Development (OD) and Change Management (CM) through experiential learning.

Part I lays the groundwork by explaining the how and what participants will learn. It introduces the essential principles of experiential learning, contrasts directive strategies with collaborative approaches to change, and sets the stage for where they will learn by introducing the \"sandbox\"-a dynamic organizational ecosystem for practice. Part II features nine scenarios designed to hone participants' problem-solving abilities as OD practitioners. Part III, comprised of five scenarios, focuses on identifying and leveraging an organization's strengths, successes, and opportunities. Parts II and III engage participants through case stories, interactive discussions, skill-building role-plays, and reflective exercises, enhancing both their learning and skill development.
