Abstract

Organization Development practitioner competence was studied using the critical incident technique. The data were collected from 23 organization development practitioners in Oregon and Washington and sorted into 15 skill categories. Interjudge reliability exceeded 75% in the sorting of the incidents into separate groups. Implications for defining competency criteria for the OD professional are discussed in terms of the taxonomy developed.
