Developing the OD Practitioner
The goal of “Organisation Development” is to create a more effective organisation that can deliver better business outcomes. Although essentially strategic, it is distinctly different from other HR roles and demands a wide range of knowledge and skills. This course is focused on developing yourself as a competent OD professional and will provide you with an overview of the knowledge and skills that are needed.

About this Course
At CRF we continuously
emphasise the importance of HR being “connected” to the business. The OD
Professional will undoubtedly fail in achieving anything valuable if they are
not able to do this.
OD is a vital strategic function and it needs to gain credibility throughout the organisation from top management downwards. This course is to help you to achieve that.
With this course you will understand what is meant by OD, a bit of its history, and the contribution it can make to the effectiveness of an organisation. The course will summarise how OD projects arise and where from, leading to a five stage model for an OD assignment. These are developed stage by stage, including some insight into the practical design of interventions.
There are some particularly important areas of skill that need to be developed to be professionally effective and these will be also studied during the course.

Who Should Enrol?
This
is a course aimed at professionals who need to understand and develop
organisations to become more effective. It is primarily aimed at those whose full-time
role is in OD, but would also be of value to those with a responsibility for
performance improvement or managing change. Both internal and external consultants
will find it valuable, as will the aspiring or existing HR Director who needs
to ensure initiatives in OD are carried out professionally, bring credibility
to their function, and add value to the organisation.
Benefits of Enrolling
-
To understand the value, context and strategic importance of OD, what it should be about and what it should not be about
-
To grasp essential knowledge about change and effectiveness within and between groups, both large and small
-
To master a five-stage project model and fully understand the practical interventions that can be made in various contexts and to meet a range of problem solving demands
-
Whereas all skills training requires practice and feedback to complete the learning cycle, the first stage is to know what one should be able to do, and the module will provide that knowledge over a range of key skill areas
-
Be able to assess your knowledge and understanding of the course materials and how you can develop further
-
To feel confident as a trained professional, and able to apply all of the above in your own organisation
