Developing the skills and knowledge for effective organisational development practice.
Programme details
Dates
Organisational Development (OD) is now a significant and influential field of practice that is used increasingly in organisations to deal with issues such as: managing dynamic and complex change, putting people at the heart of their organisation, determining mission, values and strategy, introducing new systems and processes, restructuring and enhancing leadership and employee morale.
Our highly practical in-depth programme will equip you with a core understanding of what OD is, with practical OD tools and techniques; it will improve your skills and provide you with greater awareness of self and group process.
The programme consists of 4 modules:
- OD: from the inside out
- Understanding the organisation
- Tools for transformation
- The future of OD?
Why should you attend this programme?
- Build your confidence and impact as an OD practitioner
- Increase your self awareness by identifying strengths and development needs in relation to a set of OD practitioner capabilities
- Broaden your knowledge of the history and roots of OD practice
- Develop a systemic approach to identifying OD needs
- Learn new tools to gather data and intervene effectively in organisational systems
- Improve your knowledge of group dynamics and their impact on your OD practice
- Increase your knowledge of organisational design
- Learn to apply participative approaches to complex change

Business benefits
Effective OD within organisations can lead to highly successful change programmes, but this success is driven by people who understand OD and who have all the tools and techniques available to successfully influence and communicate with people in a range of situations. Our in-depth approach develops effective OD Practitioners who can bring this to your organisation.
Having some fundamental theoretical underpinning has given me more confidence as an OD Practitioner.
