The ability to adapt to an ever-changing market remains the single most important factor to an organisation’s success. And to do that you need your people to have the competencies and skills to respond positively. Organisation Development (OD) is rooted in the deep connection between the best business processes and structures and supporting the development of the people working within them. It’s about creating great organisations and high performing cultures. Module 1, Demystifying OD, focuses on organisation development as a discipline and the role of an OD Practitioner within an organisation.
