Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students will gain a deeper understanding of the assumptions that underpin an organizational, as well as a hands-on skill set for engaging in organization development.
Amidst the myriad challenges of the decade ahead (including COVID19, climate crises, income & wealth distribution, speculative finance, challenges to trust in authority), what practices and principles could guide organizations, as well as their constituent members (including employees, manager, executives, shareholders, and stakeholders)?
Your course in Organizational Development moves beyond the idea that there are organizational patterns (e.g., functional, divisional, matrix) that we can simply impose from above, and invites you on a journey under the surface of the Iceberg to explore how an Organization may engage in sense-making, particularly though not exclusively, in times of transition and disruption.
