Organizations act in changing contexts, which they continuously have to adjust to. We investigate organizational development as an agile, malleable learning process. We focus on change agents as central actors in this process and on how employees can be motivated to participate in changes. To that end, we transfer Motivational Interviewing to an organizational context and we consider Design Thinking as a solution-oriented approach to shape organizational development.
