Action Research - 1
• Action research is central to EACH
STAGE of the OD process.
• It is a collaborative effort between the
leaders and facilitators of any change
and those who have to enact it.
• It involves diagnosis, data gathering,
feedback of data to the client group,
data discussion, action planning, and
action.
• Therefore, action research is, as its
name suggests, a combination of
research and action.
Action Research - 2
• Action research involves collecting data
relevant to the situation of interest,
feeding back the results to those who
must take action, collaboratively
discussing the data to formulate an
action plan, and finally, taking the
necessary action.
