Organisation Development Essentials

Gain an understanding of the key characteristics and theories of Organisational Development that shape and underpin operations.

Duration

2 days

Online class

Overview

Organisation Development (OD) has grown to become one of the most critical practices an organisation needs to embrace and maintain its levels of performance within a rapidly changing environment. This is because OD can play a vital role in enabling growth, longevity and relevancy within a business.

Organisations have historically been able to rely on a linear approach to setting their strategy and goals, where a five year and beyond plan can be executed. However, with the current pace of change, organisations are having to review their strategy and often altering their course in response to external forces at more regular intervals.

The skills of OD practitioners are in demand more than ever as organisations recognise that to adapt to the changing world of work, they need to transform their culture, capability, values and behaviours. In these circumstances, it’s critical that OD is fully embraced to make sure that practices are in line with the new focus.

Organisation Development Essentials is a 2-day programme that will help you gain an understanding of the key characteristics and theories of Organisational Development that shape and underpin operations. As well as consider a range of approaches and tools that can be utilised to strengthen your OD practice.
