"Design School: Pinpointing the OD Principles that Enable Groups to Learn or Change"
Program Description:
Two accomplished OD consultants who have many years of OD practice and satisfying colleagueship, believe that their success as professionals depends on their use of a particular type of design thinking, i.e., process design. Based on their experience, they propose that OD design requires practitioners to consciously pinpoint, create, and shape precisely-focused processes, structures, and relationships as scaffolding to guide and encourage people to learn and change.
Following their 2015 article published in the OD Practitioner (“Design School: Mastering OD Design Principles Outside the Guild Experience”), they are are now offering design workshops in order to confirm their assumption that there seems to be a surprising gap in the design resources currently available to OD practitioners. If so, the question is, do OD professionals now crave more intentional, explicit, comprehensive opportunities to explore the dynamics of process design? How might we consciously and intentionally become more skilled designers of human process? What might be the most effective way to help both emerging and experienced practitioners develop and refine their own design skills?
As a frame for this session, the speakers will also illustrate their own thinking by reviewing Six Design Principles and associated Guidelines that they believe create a predictable framework for guiding small group change.
In this Evening Program you will:
1. Explore whether conscious, carefully wrought process design is a condition that determines OD success. And if so, how?
2. Identify the application of process design principles and practices with both emerging and experienced OD practitioners.
3. Introduce and explore Six Design Principles for effective small group learning and change, and consider ways to apply these to our own OD practices.
