Description
Organizations undergo continuous and more rapid changes. The nature and forms of organizations are changing dramatically due to globalization, information technology and innovation. Hence, leaders should be equipped to inspire people and journey with them to be better able to adapt and cope with the changing environment and continually innovate, renew and re-create the organization. Efforts toward this self-renewal involve planned development, improvement and reinforcement of strategies, structures, systems, processes and procedures, as well as culture, that would lead to organization effectiveness and learning.
This seminar also includes some focus on restructuring organizations as part of the technostructural interventions – change programs focusing on the technology and structure of organizations. Increasing global competition and rapid technological and environmental changes are forcing organizations to restructure themselves from rigid bureaucracies to leaner, more flexible structures.
Who should attend
Internal consultants, training staff, and line leaders who initiate, implement or evaluate organizational change
This four half-days course is designed to provide participants with an understanding of a learning and self-renewing organization and their roles as leaders. It also intends to provide them with basic concepts and skills in formulating organization development interventions which are distinctive in nature: reflexive, self-analytical and self-skill-building in nature, that is, pervasively using a collaborative action research model. These interventions are designed for implementation to attain and sustain optimum performance through allowing people and programs to realize their full potential.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Define an effective and healthy organization.
• Diagnose and analyze their organizations.
• Come up with interventions towards an effective and healthy organization.
• Commit themselves and the organization towards self-renewal and learning as a way of life.
