Topic: Doing the OD Tango: Supporting Sustainable Change in Healthcare Using Multiple Roles and Strategies

Facilitator:  Kevin Nourse

 

As OD professionals, we often face the challenge of supporting organizational change efforts. To support successful change efforts, it is often critical to intervene at multiple levels including individual leaders, leadership teams, and the larger organizational context. Helping senior leadership teams become more effective and aligned can pay huge dividends in the overall success of a change initiative. Organizational change initiatives are often laden with unanticipated surprises calling forth a need for OD professionals to be nimble in wearing multiple hats to support our clients.

In this session, Dr. Kevin Nourse will share a case study of a leadership team in a large healthcare institution he is currently working with as a team coach, team facilitator, team builder, trainer, executive coach, and team diagnostician. The session will be interactive and provide many opportunities for dialogue and discussion.

Participants will achieve the following outcomes:

- Distinctions between team coaching, team building, and team facilitation.
- Strategies for building trust and alignment.
- Insights on a using a team functioning assessment and conflict styles indicator.
- Understanding of how to conduct a team coaching engagement
