Non Profits
Development
In Golden & Area A, some organizations are trying to grow, other are trying to sustain themselves, while others still are trying to fulfill a temporary need and work themselves out of a job. While they may be going in different directions each group needs to focus on organizational development in order to fulfill their goals.

With a organization-wide application, OD can help shape positive results and align outcomes for all stakeholders.
