Organisational Development Best Practice Od Workshop
This course equips professionals with evidence-based tools to drive meaningful organisational change by aligning activities with strategic goals through the Golden Thread model, applying behavioural science to design non-coercive cultural interventions, and using proven frameworks such as Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions and a seven-step science-based approach to diagnose and resolve complex challenges. Delegates will learn to prioritise high-impact work, navigate stakeholder politics, and facilitate collaborative problem-solving through Action Learning Sets, ensuring interventions are both effective and sustainable. By developing a personal implementation roadmap, participants leave with a clear plan to embed behavioural changes and deliver lasting value within their organisations. This course is essential for leaders and practitioners seeking to enhance organisational performance with rigor, insight, and practical impact.
Are you ready to turn organisational change from guesswork into real results?

You’ll learn how to apply behavioural science to shape culture without force, diagnose team issues with Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions, and tackle complex challenges with a proven seven-step approach.
By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with a personal implementation roadmap — a clear, practical plan to embed lasting change in your organisation.
