organizations face multiple challenges and threats- threats to effectiveness, efficiency and
profitability; Challenges from turbulent environments, increased competition, and changing
customer demands; and the constant challenge to maintain congruence among organizational

organizational behavior.

A parallel emphasis will focus on the roles of consultants/facilitators in the organization's
