The Discovery and Design of Positive Institutions
.jpg)
This training will be conducted live via Zoom.
The undeniable call of our times is to build a better world together. In the spirit of stepping into this call to action, we will explore the bold question, “What if organizations are not our clients, but are instead the change agents working toward creating a flourishing world?” As we begin to re-imagine the role of organizations in our global change agenda, our work as OD practitioners also begins to shift in exciting ways. I have never been more excited to be in the field of OD than today. Why? Because the next few decades will be decisive for our global community: we must create transformative shifts toward climate action, social equity, ecosystem restoration, and health and well-being for all. From the questions we ask to the interventions we design, OD has an opportunity to play a role in our global change agenda in ways never before imagined to create a world that works for all.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define what is meant by a positive institution
2. Describe a case illustration of a positive institution
3. Develop specific action steps to evolve their own OD practice toward the creation of positive institutions
