Organisation
Good Organisation Development and Design (OD&D) are key for strategic success of organisations. They enable you to achieve effective organisations where people thrive. In this context, OD&D is the systematic application of behavioural science (especially psychology, sociology, anthropology), systems and complexity theory to the design, development, implementation and improvement of strategies, structures and processes across and within systems that enable organisations to be effective, e.g. by delivering both high quality outputs with a high quality customer and employee experience.
The courses offered within OD&D in the Civil Service aim at a number of different target audiences, from individuals seeking to know a little bit more about the topic, to HR professionals seeking to upskill in OD&D as part of their HR journey, to individuals seeking to become OD&D practitioners by learning OD&D fundamentals as well as more seasoned OD&D practitioners who continuously develop their practice.
