Introduction
In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing business environment, an organization's ability to respond is key to survival and success. It is not the ‘organisation’ however that decides when, why or how to respond, it’s the people within it. Organization Development (OD) is rooted in the deep connection between the best business processes and structures and the people working with them.
Practicing OD means balancing economic growth and impact with human systems perspectives, building an agile, resilient and emotionally intelligent workforce, promoting compassionate, ethical and sustainable leadership and organizational practices, and having a clear sense of purpose. It is concerned with creating great organizations and cultures!
Our OD Practitioner Program is designed to increase your knowledge and understanding of OD as a discipline, give you opportunities to develop skills and acquire tools that have practical application and to develop the thinking strategies that shape the kind of tools and approaches you may use in your organization. The course explores the dynamic between the practitioner and the wider organization and system in OD practice.
