    "Grid Organization Development": Developed by Blake ani.l Mouton, it is a six-phase program lasting about three to five years. During this period the organization can move systematically from the stage of examining managerial behaviour and style to 'the devdopment and implementation of an 'ideal strategic corporate model'.Basic to the Grid OD program are the concepts and methods of the Managerial Grid, also developed by Blake and Mouton, a two-dimensional schematic for examining and improving the managerial practices of individual managers.

    Behavioural science concepts and rigorous business logic are combined in the Grid OD Program’s six phases.
    One of the most important assumptions of Grid Organization Development is that the 9, 9 management style is the most effective approach for all managers in all organizations. As Blake and Mouton (1969) explain :
    The single most significat premise on which Grid Organization Development rests is that the 9, 9 way of doing business is acknowledged universally by managers as the soundest  way to manage to achieve excellence. The 9, 9 theory defines a model that [employees], based on their own convictions, say they want not only for a model of their own conduct but also a model of what they want their companies to become.
