Testimonials

Organisational Development and Change (Development Programme)
Ilke Mathee from Marley Pipe Systems: “I found it to be a very good learning experience; it’s interactive and very insightful. I actually cannot wait for the next session! You leave the programme wanting to learn even more!”

Juanita Sukhdeo from Plessey: “Attending this programme had a significant impact on my work as an OD practitioner. The knowledge, background, theory and practice I gained from this experience has positioned my OD work more effectively in the organisation. The learning gained has given our OD efforts a wholesome feel and has resulted in a more polished intervention.”

HR Capacity (Development Programme)
Linda Roos from The Vineyard: "It was absolutely fantastic! Craig is very knowledgeable and is an exceptionally talented facilitator. The content was easy to digest and, notwithstanding the fact that it was a knowledge transfer environment, there was sufficient room for us to share our views and experiences with each other.”

Organisational Development Foundation Series (Development Programme)
Xandre de Kock from Foschini Retail Group: “I had been interested in OD for some time, but as the field of study is so vast, I had difficulty to put it into perspective for myself. I started looking for a training course that could guide me to both understand OD for myself and show me how I could use OD as a tool in my business. I found this in the Organizational change management programme.

The programme is designed in such a manner that a solid foundation is first set around understanding the concept of OD, it's definition and how to "frame" your business to put it into a manageable perspective for yourself. It then builds from this base into the next steps, how to gather data related to the OD intervention and then how to implement this date, using a suitable change intervention model, back into the environment.
The course also requires you to put this theory knowledge into practice in your own work environment through allocated assignments after each session, all building together to ultimately make up a portfolio of evidence.

I would recommend this course to all new entrants into the OD field as the prefect course to assist you in finding your way and guiding you in the field of OD. Each model covers a variety of tools and/or models briefly to give you a understanding of how and where these could be used as part of your planned overall OD intervention. Should you wish to "specialize" in any specific intervention, this course would give you the different areas and where each fits into the overall OD process.”

Nicolette Smuts from Medi-Clinic: “I had a good experience and am very excited that an OD programme of this quality is being offered. I hope that I will be given the opportunity to attend the other two modules.”

Jasmine Adam from Media 24: “I found the three sessions very insightful and definitely experienced a few “light bulb” moments, which is always great."

Paul Steenkamp from FNB: “Fantastic, well done, inspiring, thought provoking, pragmatic - a commendable concoction, a delicious cocktail."
