In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing business environment, an organisation's ability to respond is its key
to survival and success. However, it is not the ‘organisation’ that chooses when, why or how to respond;
it is the people within it.
Most modern L&D and HR functions are seamlessly taking on OD interventions. In practice, the boundary
is beginning to blur. Now, most L&D and HR Professionals, at some point of time, need to drive OD initiatives
or partner with consulting firms to drive these initiatives. Very few options are available for them
to build their expertise in the field of OD. And many a times, they find it difficult to enroll themselves
for long-term mid-career professional courses.
Our OD course is custom designed to help Managers, HR Professionals and L&D Specialists effectively tackle
the challenges associated with developing competent workforce that is confident, productive and committed
to realizing the organisational goals.
Our highly practical in-depth programme will equip you with a core understanding of what OD is all about
with the support of practical OD tools and techniques. The program aims at improving your skills and
providing you with greater awareness of self and group processes.
We aim to achieve this by balancing theory and practice – using your real world situations as the start
point for deep learning.
A combined perspective of a long-term practicing Consulting Firm and an established Academic Institution
like TISS would add great value to the Short Certification Course that will help large number of L&D
and HR professionals gain an in-breadth understanding of Organization Development.
