Course description
Organisational Development (OD) is all about using behavioural insights to transform systems and structures to align an organisation’s capability with its strategy. As the craft of OD approaches its 70th year, the skills and mindset of OD have never been more important. In our ever-changing world of work and global pace, an organisation’s ability to respond is key to its success. Practising OD means understanding growth, impact and human systems. Leaders operating with an OD approach are able to build agile and resilient workforces, through ethical and sustainable leadership and culture, whilst having a defined sense of purpose, strategy and direction.
This one-day workshop helps participants understand the OD mindset and use a number of OD processes and tools. The session gives leaders, managers and change agents an opportunity to reflect on a real work challenge and how they can tackle it using OD insights.
