Description
What is the practice of Organization Development. What is ‘marginality’ and what makes it relevant to an OD practitioner? How do we react when we feel marginal or marginalized? Why and in what ways does marginality strengthen our practice? At the same time, how do we draw OD from the margins to the core of business transformation?Too often, we’re the first to be cut back, the last to be consulted while problems harden … and sometimes while we’re training strategies for “running effective meetings,” key players upstairs in the boardroom are using ineffective meetings to set strategy.
This experiential workshop uses exercises, mini-cases, small groups and a light dose of PowerPoint to reveal the power of marginality. We will develop logic and strategies for leveraging your marginality in transformation processes. What strategies will you use to keep your place at the table when transformation is in play?
