Self-Assessment Tool for OD Competencies

Directions: Use this assessment instrument to identify how important various competencies associated with success in OD are to your job in your organization and how much need you have for professional development. For each competency and work activity area listed in the left column below, circle an appropriate response code in the right column to indicate how much need for professional development you feel you have in this work activity area. Use the following scale for the right column: 1 = no need; 2 = some need; 3 = need; 4 = much need; 5 = very great need. When you finish the rating, use it as a discussion tool with your immediate supervisor or other relevant stakeholders to identify areas for your professional development in OD and as a foundation for establishing a professional developmental plan.
