Open- systems planning is a method for helping orgs or groups to systematically assess their task environment and develop a strategic response to it. Strategic change involves improving the alignment among an organization’s environment, strategy, and organization design. Beckhard proposed that an organization’s environment and its strategy could be described and analyzed. Based on the organization’s core mission, the differences between what the environment demanded and how the org responded could be reduced and performance improved.
