Organisational Development and Design Course - CMI Level 7
The Organisational Design and Development Course – CMI Level 7 presents delegates with practical tools and techniques to develop their own OD (Organisational Development) strategy, with a range of OD interventions through the application of the OD consultancy cycle.
Delivered through the lens of the OD consultancy cycle, key OD models, theories and case studies, participants will be encouraged to develop their own OD approach and consider how these fit with their organisational strategy, personal objectives, and values. It focuses on the practice of OD, has a real-world focus, and is delivered by tutors who are consultants and business practitioners in the field of OD.
Organisational development and change initiatives are vital for organisations to continue to improve their performance, whether that be increasing staff retention, improving productivity, developing innovative practices, or staying competitive.
Practitioners often find themselves executing OD, often not deliberately, but through the context of change and transformation which can lead to a curiosity of the natural dynamics of people, organisations, and systems. Recognising that people are the most important part of any organisation and form the foundation for success. This course builds upon this domain of knowledge.
Through this engaging course, participants will develop the key skills and attributes of a successful OD practitioner. Building both their own levels of confidence together with the expertise needed to drive change from strategy to execution, to help your organisation thrive now and in the future.
