Business and People Strategy
CRF Community Event – OD, Culture and Change
At the first event of the OD, Culture and Change Community, we defined those areas which require our attention and identified the need to explore tools for organisation analysis. In this interactive session, we are pleased to welcome Nick Holley and Peter Blausten, who will present their framework for organisation analysis. This will offer an approach which will enable you to focus your OD work on the most important and urgent activities. This session will also explore the barriers to making it work effectively in the real world.
The following paper will provide the basis for the discussion at the event.
This community is intended for experienced HR or OD professionals who are keen to share, discuss and compare their own challenges and successes with their peers.
The community will meet throughout the year to address topical issues and will stay connected via a WhatsApp group, regular updates and networking. Members of the community can stay informed with access to our webpage of curated content.
We look forward to having you join us in June.
