Abstract
The political side of OD intervention is receiving more consideration by those in the field. Most of this attention focuses on how the consultant can increase and use his or her power in the client system. Little attention has been given, however, to the diagnostic requirements of effective political action. An overview of issues and techniques is provided here for the political diagnosis of client systems.Keywords
