Organizational Diagnosis

There is some disagreement in the Executive ranks as to which OD method or model should be used. Some executives have familiarity with a couple of models, but it seems to be only based on what they have read or heard about. So you need to explore some models and determine their strengths and weaknesses. And ultimately you need to recommend which one is best for using at Whole Foods Market. As part of making that determination, you will also need to identify several critical issues facing Whole Foods Market.
The executives want you to include the 7S model, the Congruence Model, and the Burke-Litwin Model in your analysis. And I want you to pick three or four more models to include as well ? so we have a well-rounded group of OD models.
Prepare a report in which you include the following:
1. For each of the models you are analyzing (six or seven#, a brief overview of what the model does.
2. Clearly identify the strengths and weaknesses of each model.
3. Identify and discuss two or three issues that Whole Foods Market is facing.
4. Determine which model you think is the best model to use.
5. Make a recommendation as to which model should be used, I expect you to Make a Strong Case. Explain why your selection would be the best choice. Explain how the recommended model can be used to help diagnose the issues you have identified.
