14069. THE RELATIONSHIP OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT TO ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. This paper describes and explains the relationship of training and development (T&D) to organizational development. The analysis begins with a definition and overview of both OD and T&D. The subsequent analysis demonstrates how training and development is both a critical component of organizational development and a key factor in the success or failure of OD change efforts. Moreover, it is argued that the dominance of change management has forged an even closer link between OD and T&D as the twin linchpins of organizational success in a highly competitive, rapidly changing environment.
