  • New York, NY - Mar 1, 2010 - Mar 2, 2010

Human resource professionals have a critical role to play in identifying an organization's competitive advantage and ensuring its success. One of the ways to address that strategic issue is to employ and use OD methods. Whether you will be working side-by-side with OD consultants or are being asked to engage in an OD project yourself, this workshop will deepen your understanding of the practice and the process of organizational learning and change.

Working in small groups on a simulation of a typical OD assignment, you will assess a situation, diagnose root causes, and make recommendations to the company's senior management. Using an action maze, you will find multiple decision points along the way that may lead you to an effective solution or that could lead you astray.
