1. Who is the Postgraduate Certificate in the Psychology of OD and Change for?

This is ideal for HR directors, learning and development specialists, internal/external consultants or anyone with responsibility for the OD function. Typically you will have a degree-level qualification and/or relevant work experience.

2. How can I use what I learn back at work?

On completion of the programme, you’ll be able to:

  • define what organisation development is and explain how the theories and concepts can be applied within your organisation
  • understand the nature of planned change, and the role of the OD practitioner
  • consider the needs and perspectives of relevant stakeholders
  • address underlying causal factors rather than settle for superficial fixes
  • identify the strategy to use in the process of OD, from entering and contracting to embedding OD interventions
  • advise on the redesign of organisation structures and work processes
  • be reflective and aware of your own internal experience and interaction patterns, as these may support your effectiveness with client groups
  • act with awareness of the social and ethical dimensions of your work.
