Organization Development
Certificate Program
NTL
Institute’s ground breaking work with group dynamics and
group process gave rise to the field of organization development
(OD) nearly sixty years ago. Since that time, organizations
in the public and private sectors have sought the OD expertise
of NTL Institute members and their protégés, in an effort
to maximize business objectives at all system levels.
This
carefully integrated sequence of programs and experiential
work is based on exploring the action research model, applying
the basics of the model at the group and organizational
level, and then branching out into the specialized areas
of OD. The entire OD Certificate Program will provide participants
with progressive course work in OD theory, methodology and
technology. In addition, participants work with a mentor
during their enrollment. The mentor will serve as a shadow
coach/consultant to advise participants on professional
development objectives, course content and applicability,
and transferring program learnings to the workplace.
Participants
in the Organization Development Certificate Program will:
-
Learn practical
skills in order to establish productive relationships
with clients and work groups
-
Develop the
capacity to understand organizations as system levels
-
Learn why,
when, and how to intervene at different system levels
-
Develop capabilities
for using one's self as an agent of change
-
Expand skills
in specialized areas such as organization design, strategic
goals, diversity, facilitation, systems change and application
of OD theory
Benefit
This program fulfills
individuals’ desire to learn the fundamentals of organization
development and build a solid theoretical base from which
to operate. Practitioners who want to formalize and diversify
their current knowledge will find the program a challenging
learning experience that will expand their capacity as consultants.
