Course description
Organisations need to be consciously and reflectively designed and developed in order to thrive. Considering the wider integrated ecosystem (including structure, systems, culture and values), organisation design and delivery (OD&D) helps organisations work towards a desired future state through change management.
This essential insights course introduces the building blocks of theories, frameworks and models used by organisation design and organisation development specialists. Aimed at people practitioners in HR and L&D or people managers seeking a grounding in the topic, delegates study at their own pace via an online portal. Exploring six of the core theories that any aspiring practitioner needs to be fully conversant with, it debunks myths and explores system models and approaches for organisations of any size, ensuring OD&D is fit for purpose in context.
Designed by OD&D expert practitioners, delegates will be able to confidently discuss organisation design and organisation development theories with stakeholders and support change management programmes.
All CIPD Learning courses will automatically provide you with access to the CIPD Learning Hub, our online learning platform, for 24 months.
