OD in recent times of global transitioning phase where we have virtual teams working in dispersed geography. With modern science based approach where individuals seeks input based action and transformational goals with certain level of feedback process to have desired output which gives organization a continuous invention and improvement to have sustained development. DNA of the org is again shaped from people coming from diverse background with varied skills and knowledge when amalgamated to form synergies. This in result will have many fold impacts and innovations , far reaching evolution of human behavior.
