Overview
OD essentials is a one-day programme which explores the fundamentals of Organisation Development, its history and the nature of OD practice. The programme provides an introduction to the function of OD and the role of the OD practitioner; including the key skills, knowledge and mindsets needed to become one.
The programme consists of four learning modules delivered either as a one day programme or delivered virtually as a series of 90 minute digital learning sessions:
- History of OD
- My role in OD
- Levels and Types of Interventions
- Adaptive Action in OD
This programme is for you if:
- You identify as working within the field of OD but aren’t yet comfortable with being called an ‘OD Practitioner’
- You are in the field of HR or learning and development and want to understand your development needs within the context of an OD role
- You are manager or leader leading change projects and are curious about how OD can help you in managing the change management process
- You are simply curious about understanding what organisational development is and how it is used in organisations.
At end of the programme, you will be able to:
- Describe the underpinning principles, practice, aims and values of OD, in relation to yourself and your context.
- Understand and reflect on your OD Role and your current levels of knowledge and experience.
- Increase knowledge of the different levels at which an OD Practitioner can intervene and appropriate application of a variety of intervention methods.

Participants will return to their organisation with an understanding of organisational development in practice to help them lead change projects or grow their practice in an OD role.
