As a participant in organizational development, it is important to understand the methods for developing a successful change intervention. Having properly gathered and vetted data takes time and planning. Once the data is obtained and analyzed, the doing phase begins. The doing phase is heavily involved and requires consistent intervention. Once the doing phase is completed, the checking stage begins. The checking stage determines the success of the intervention and the sustainability of the change.

QUESTIONS:

1) For this discussion, you are to comprehensively define and describe each phase of action research. Using the course textbook as the resource, clearly review each phase including the various models, theorists, and templates used during the process.

2) Pick one action phase and defend its importance to the other two phases and the overall intervention during a change process.
