Description
(This is a Self-financed programme; no fee concession or waivers are available).
Organisations must adapt to change; otherwise, they can stagnate or perish. As changes occur in economies, markets, technology and society, there is a need for professionals who can enable organisations to anticipate and effectively respond to those changes.
As a field of study, Organisation Development (OD) is especially relevant in today’s fast-paced and drastic change era. Its community and social development origins provide a firm ground for the applied behavioural sciences. Applications in industry that have followed continue to be enriched by advances in social psychology, neurosciences, behavioural economics, and the art of facilitation, which explores and expands on the emergent knowledge from human efforts in institutions.
Characteristics of OD-based change include (and are not limited to):
Advancing the science and practice of OD-based change is at the core of the curriculum. OD also operates from a particular set of practitioner values that shape how and why the work is done. Humanism as a value enables the valuing of human potential and, therefore, the importance of understanding the systemic challenges from a range of stakeholders and then engaging those stakeholders directly in shaping the change, partly so that change is well conceived of but also so that, through wider ownership, its chance of being shared and adopted are enhanced.
Science as a value involves enabling evidence-based employee actions. Employees, as change participants themselves, are involved in the processes of data gathering, meaning-making, and democratic participation in decisions that affect individuals, groups, and the organisation as a whole. Change agentry involves informed consent and actionability as values to enhance internalisation and commitment to sustainable organisational change.
Through this programme, we aim to develop innovative and influential change agents for various institutions. The programme enables students to understand how emerging industrial revolutions usher in systems of interacting components that impact each other in significant but often unseen ways. Crucially, students focus on self-development, which is, in turn, needed to accomplish the facilitator identity in organisational change processes. The learning methods in the programme include lectures, case discussions, simulations, role-plays, fieldwork, internships, service learning, and facilitated human interaction processes. Students engage in experiential learning opportunities and reflective spaces and interact with experienced professionals, faculty and alums. In this manner, students better understand their challenges and those of organisations in various contexts involving change. One of the differentiators of this program is the opportunity for students to immerse in a real-world consulting project that intends to take them through a complete OD cycle.
During our MA in ODCL, students learn how to appreciate and proceed with the process of OD-intensive organisational change, including:
Our programme transforms students, both personally and professionally. Students gain a deeper understanding of themselves and behavioural sciences, organisation strategy, operations and the interplay of systems and people processes. Those passionate about making a difference through OD should consider applying to our MA in Organisation Development, Change and Leadership.
