Now That’s What We Call OD
Welcome to Now That’s What We Call OD, the blog all about Organisational Development (OD) at City! We hope that this blog will be a place for tips, tricks and insights covering a wide range of OD topics.
We want this to be a place where people from across the whole University can share their thoughts and ideas, so you will find posts from a wide range of people. Lets get started.
What is OD?
For us at City, Organisational Development is improving City’s organisational performance through its people and systems so it can thrive.
This is done at the University through:
- Learning and Development – Professional development opportunities for staff across the University. This can include leadership programmes, wellbeing sessions, and equality & diversity training.
- Core OD Interventions – Interventions that positively influence areas such as ways of working, staff engagement, City’s sense of community, well-being and recognition.
- Internal OD Consultancy – Supporting Schools, Services, teams and individuals on request in areas such as developing strategic plans, team effectiveness, process improvement, focussed leadership development and organisational design.
