Organisational Development Mastery Programme
Become an expert at Facilitating Organisation Development through Large Systems Change
The From OD Practitioner to OD Mastery Programme combines various experiential learning methods, with the study of Somatics, Ontology, Psychoanalytics, Systems Thinking, Chaos Theory, and Human Dynamics in relation to organisations and organisational development.
This highly practical, in-depth Programme has been designed to equip professionals, who are accountable for managing, leading and changing the organisation, (its processes, systems, ways-of-working, motivation, workforce, etc.), to enhance their skills, knowledge and practice, in their quest to effectively deliver the organisation’s goals, strategy and value to its customers.
Practitioners and Leaders attending this Programme will participate in experiential activities, the aim of which is to learn how to observe the functioning of a group in order to understand the dynamics which influence it, how they impact the ‘job-at-hand’. This will allow for the study of issues such as leadership, followership, rivalry, boundaries, group defences and habits, cultural and role differences, as well as relatedness and relationship between groups, boundary dynamics and issues of delegated authority.
Additionally, the programme will focus on how to achieve greater levels of collaboration (collective, partners), cooperation (helpful and willing), and coordination (synchronised, directed and aligned).
Learners will be able to work with the challenges, organisational dilemmas and opportunities that occur everyday, and become more proficient at seeing the bigger picture, working with multiple and competing expectations, undertaking ‘clean’ conversations, and use-of-self.
“This Programme has enabled me to think about organisations in a completely different way. It has not only developed me as a Practitioner but has changed me as a Leader”

OD Mastery roadmap
Becoming an OD Practitioner is a journey, consisting of formal learning, on-the-job experience, expert input and peer supervision.
Practitioners often find themselves on the journey, which quite often is not deliberate. However, the natural dynamics of people and organisations (systems) within the context of Change and Transformation, will inevitably draw one into this domain of knowledge.
The Journey typically begins with Core Knowledge, perhaps moving onto Focused Developed. However, many programmes end here.
In contrast, the LCC Journey recognises that knowledge is not enough – and so our LCC Mastery Programme moves the Practitioner to higher levels of expertise, in order to be a true Leader of Change and Influence.
