Organisation Design & Development, and Strategic Change
(CMI Level 7 Certificate / Award)
Validate your knowledge & experience with a qualification to make yourself stand out from the crowd
This Organisation Design & Development Certificate – CMI Level 7 Qualification has been developed by Labyrinth Coaching and Consulting, who have over 12 years’ extensive experience of working with Leaders through the OD&D lens. They were also instrumental in designing, developing, and delivering the Advanced Award in OD&D for CIPD as well. The CMI accreditation, has created a very exciting opportunity for learners because OD is now considered as the Leader’s accountability as it typically goes hand-in-hand with Strategy, so it is best placed as the Leader and Managers’ responsibility, rather than only through HR or Learning and Development.
The organisational development course has been designed for Managers, Leaders, HR, Change and OD Professionals and consultants (both internal or external), who want to develop their strategic skills and effectiveness through using Organisation Design and Development methodology.
This organisational development qualification provides a toolkit of the most powerful methods and frameworks used in Organisation Design & Development, which enable the learner (and consequently their organisation), to develop new ways of thinking. The programme provides theoretical input, and practical examples to help with understanding. It also looks at how learner’s own organisations apply this methodology in their day-to-day operations while sharing relevant case studies from tutors themselves to bring the learning “alive”.
