A Strategic Approach to Organization Development & Organizational Effectiveness
The information and material in this workshop is for mid and senior leaders and innovators – those managers, directors and executives who want to gain insights and methods they can apply immediately for organizational effectiveness.
This workshop is designed as a competency and application bridge from OD theory to OD practice with a goal of positioning internal and external OD practitioners to succeed in their consulting practices. OD professionals are increasingly pressured to demonstrate value. With outcomes trumping activities, these practitioners need to make distinctions on what they deliver, as opposed to what they do, to achieve organizational excellence and help accomplish strategic goals. This workshop provides the solid approaches, methods, research and data that you need to learn to make those distinctions.
The OD processes we target are facilitative, rather than prescriptive, and ensure (internal and external) client engagement and pragmatic learning by all participants.
Participants will discover the best methodologies, strategies, and proven approaches that successful OD consultants and management practitioners apply and learn how to conduct meaningful and substantive analyses that will move clients to where they want and need to be.
