Today OD is often used as a tool for empowerment.

OD (Organizational Development) is a process of continuous and systematic change that focuses on improving the effectiveness and efficiency of an organization. In recent times, OD has been increasingly used as a tool for empowerment, helping employees and teams to develop skills, knowledge, and capabilities that enable them to take ownership of their work, contribute to the organization's goals, and make a positive impact on their communities. This approach is based on the belief that empowered employees are engaged, productive, and committed, which leads to higher levels of performance and job satisfaction.
