Abstract
Process-Oriented Organizational Development in a Business Context by Yojiro Hashimoto
This research focus was based on my client cases in organizational development since 2010. Initial questions included: How do I use / live processwork as an approach to organizational development? What are the essential features of applying processwork in the context of organizational development in the corporate world? How can I create a model and framework to support the utilization of processwork in organizational development? Data were gathered through my consulting and facilitation with my corporate clients who are Japanese large to mid-size companies and Japanese branches of fortune 100 companies. Results indicate processwork is like a facilitation-do with similar meaning as in Aikido or Kendo. Processwork can be utilized as a complete guide for facilitators during the entirety of an organizational development process whereas other organizational development methods focus more on long-term results. Results of the emphasis upon facilitator development in processwork training supports its use in difficult areas where other organizational development approaches are rarely applied.
