This course is designed to provide an overview of intervention theory, design, and practice, as well as in-depth knowledge of specific interventions. Effective interventions begin with the initial entry and contracting with the client. Building a trusting working relationship that enables clear assessment of the organization’s needs, as well as the organization’s culture and values, allows for the development of interventions that work and produce successful results.
In this six-day workshop learners gain an understanding of the range of interventions (individual, group, organizational, and other systems), when each is likely to be effective and ineffective, and your preferences and limitations with the use of specific interventions. Workshop materials include a resource booklet of interventions with conditions for effectiveness for each intervention, and where to learn more.
Interventions covered are based on the needs for each class and include one intervention from each category (individual, group, organization). Specific interventions may include the following:
- Coaching
- Leadership development
- Diagnostic instruments
- Leadership and learning styles
- Use of training as an intervention
- Team development, group dynamics, small group process consultation
- Role clarification, organizational design and redesign
- Visioning, collaborative strategic planning, culture change
- Multicultural OD & Global Issues
- Large Group Methods
Learning methods will include case studies, role plays, large and small group discussion.
