Increasing change in this dynamic business environment becomes a significant concern for every organisation in this competitive world. Comprehensive organisation development approaches is therefore essential in achieving organisational efficiency. The proposition of numerous organisation development interventions seek to enhance the development and empowerment of individuals within an organisation, and each fits well in the contemporary organisations for utilising different change programs.

The interaction and communication between team members hence provide evidence for the validity of both applications.
