Otherwise referred to as OD, it is a systems, and science-backed, methodology focused on improving a business’s performance, productivity and people.
Is OD and HR the same thing?
We would argue that HR (human resource management) is a function of OD. HR typically handles more transactional functions of the human side of business (eg. recruitment of a new employee), whereas OD considers the entire business as a collection of integrated system and how those systems functions effectively (eg. changing of a recruitment system to improve candidate selection and retention).
OD has five component pieces, all inter-related, but slightly different in function. Leadership At Work is structured in such a way to ensure that your needs are covered, by ensuring we have capability across these four components:
- Culture design and development
- Change design and management
- Leadership structure and development
- HR support
- Strategic planning
What do we mean by organisational development support?
Simply, we enable businesses, irrespective of size, to ensure they are applying OD processes effectively. This might mean:
- Directly providing and applying OD skills eg. providing HR services where the business does not have capacity or capability
- OD planning services eg. consulting with stakeholders, diagnosing root causes and proposing solutions
- Advocacy eg. onboarding stakeholders to undertake a course of action through influence and collaborative approaches
- Learning and development eg. leadership development coaching
