Conducting a cultural diagnosis is critical in understanding how organization development (OD) is perceived in the host nation and how the OD consultant will be perceived by the client. It involves learning about cultural values, beliefs, and practices that impact the success of OD interventions. Understanding the cultural context is essential for effective global OD.
