Sketchy Outline

I transcribed my interview notes today, and I've started on the final installment of my field project paper. Guidelines from the syllabus appear below:

1. The Story: Describe what actually happened in each phase of the project from where you left off in Part I. Who did what, when, where, how and why? Pay special attention to unforeseen events, changes in direction, and new decisions you and others made as the project progressed. You might use Chapter Two in Becoming an OD Practitioner as an example.

2. Reflect on how your understanding of and your relationship with your primary client(s) changed, if at all, over time - key insights, personal learning?

3. In retrospect, how well did the contract work? Did you change it over the course of the project? If so, why?

4. What were the high and low points of the project? What actually changed as a result of it? Why did things turn out as they did?

5. What would you have done differently if you could have? Why?

6. If you have yet to complete the OD cycle at the time you need to write-up your report, how would you do so if you could (or how do you intend to do so if the engagement is still active). Please be as specific, identifying who, where, what, what, when and why, foreseeing contingencies and your response to them, anticipating findings and their implications, etc.

7. What did you learn from this intervention with respect to consulting and the practice of organization development? Describe any of your insights that ran counter to what the literature had led you to believe?

8. What did your client learn from this intervention? To what extent did you achieve your goals for his/her development? If you have not covered this already, what would you have done differently if you had the chance to start over? What would you do now were you continue to help this person develop?

9. What did you learn about yourself from this intervention? How, if at all, do you think you have become a better practitioner as a result of this experience?

10. What do you plan to do next in your career as an OD practitioner and why?
