Interventions are planned actions intended to help an organization improve performance and effectiveness. They are derived from careful diagnosis to resolve specific problems. Interventions can be standardized programs used across many organizations or unique programs tailored to a specific organization. The goal is to improve the fit between individuals, the organization, and the environment through collaboration and participation. Effective interventions disrupt the status quo to drive planned change, fit organizational needs based on valid information, enhance the ability to manage future change, and consider readiness, capabilities, culture, and the change agent's skills.
