Thanks for your business!
1. As you first explain the process, it is important to define Organizational Development (OD) since many definitions exist. However, please note that it is one area of Industrial/Organizational psychology that involves "the process of assisting organizations in preparing for and managing change" (http://www.wcupa.edu/_ACADEMICS/sch_cas.psy/Career_Paths/Industrial/subfield2.htm).
Another great one is "The use of planned, behavioral science-based interventions in work settings for the purpose of improving organizational functioning and individual development" (java.cs.vt.edu/.../classes/communities/readings/Weick&Quinn-1999.pdf).
