- What work do you hope to do with OD? What career goals, if any, do you have for OD?
I specifically took this course which is part of a larger certificate program because although I’m very busy I feel a bit intellectually stagnant in my work. Having more knowledge will help me move forward and better support the groups with which I partner. I have also been thinking about my next steps.
What I am learning is that there is a lot I “organically” know and do within the broader scope of OD, but I don’t have the foundational processes, OD language and contextual understanding. I’ve been taking a lot of notes as I reading the “big book” with ideas I want to try out at work. I have a lot of flexibility and ability to play with these ideas on a team level.
The more I am learning, the more I want to know, and the more I simply want to be able to be at the table in a larger conversation and larger change initiative.
OD fits nicely with the coaching, team and program work I’ve done for years. I am a visual and experiential learner I’d like the opportunity to shadow Bill (really I do).
- What do you want to do at the end of this course?
Keep coming back.
- Do you plan to be in the online MPS in Organization Development and Change (MPS in ODC) degree program?
Right now I plan on the OD Certificate.
