Principles and Practices in Organization Development (PPOD) » Overview
A Two-Part Program
Part I: November 2 - 6, 2009Part II: December 7 - 11, 2009
The Principles and Practices of Organization Development (PPOD) Program is a highly participative learning experience that provides participants with the core concepts and skills necessary for consulting to organizations and teams.
PPOD offers participants repeated opportunities for building skills and insights through practice. Special attention is given to each phase of the consulting process which includes contracting, organization diagnosis, and intervention. The design is well suited to:
1) The needs of recent entrants into the organization change field who are interested in acquiring skills 2) Those with HR experience who recognize the importance of continually working on skills for improving their effectiveness with clients.
Managers who have recently assumed responsibility for managing a significant change effort in their organizations will also find this program especially useful. These practitioners and managers typically have a need to:
a) Learn more about the nature of organizational functioning and change b) Enhance their skills in helping managers and executives understand and manage change c) Enhance their own skills in managing change
