This article is extremely incomplete and idiosyncratic. Anyone reading it in search of substantive knowledge about OD will be either misinformed (if they are naive or uninformed on arrival) or will simply disregard it (if they already have some understanding of the topic.) It requires much attention, and if time permits, I (a recognized expert) will return and work on it.
incomplete? absolutely. i was hoping others would come along and help fix it.
idiosyncratic? thank you!User:Thseamon

Please take a look at the organizational studies topic - it would be good to merge the two, or at least reference them, in some way. --Goodoldpolonius 03:47, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hello Goodoldpolonius, It took me a while (years!), but I finally added OD to the Org Studies page See Also list.User:Thseamon
Marked for cleanup. Needs major work... The field is called Organization Development. Let's get it right. Perspective 18:49, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I agree with you, Perspective. Change the title to Organization Development. User:Thseamon
- Done. (OK, so it took a while). -Willmcw 05:57, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Important figures
I deleted Kaushik Kumar and Olusegun Samuel from the list, because I couldn't find a trace of them with Google. If anyone has specific information about them and their importance to the field, please let us know. -Willmcw 05:57, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
I've further trimmed the list. Some appear in Google, some with an OD background, but so do thousands of others. We need some quality control. Perhaps having a valid wikipedia entry about the individuals work is a starting point. Spamburger 10:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] cleanup
Once again marked for cleanup. The article is little more than a series of lists. It needs content, expansion and explanation. --Buridan 21:35, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
