Employing a Whole Systems View and Action Learning to Align People With Strategic Goals
Organization development is the art and practice of linking people with purpose. It employs a systems perspective, thoughtfully aligning elements of structures, strategy, process, leadership, learning, and relationships for maximum strategic leverage.
OD Foundations provides the theories, insights, and lessons you need to learn to align your organization’s people systems with its strategic goals. The first offering in a new certificate series from the Queen’s IRC, OD Foundations gives solid grounding in an area of increasing importance to HR practitioners.
