Do real OD work with a real client - there's no role play here!

The centerpiece of the 3-day Master Class is real Organization Development work, helping a real client with a live challenge.

Last time, we supported a senior team from a cancer charity to ‘figure out hybrid working’ to enable their strategy and values. This time, we’re excited to announce that our client is an international not-for-profit doing amazing work to tackle poverty and injustice. So you’ll be developing your skills, while making a real difference.

Your Facilitators

Delivered in partnership by experienced facilitators.

This rather special program was co-designed and is co-facilitated by Sharon Varney and John Hovell working in partnership. Over the past 6 years, John and Sharon have combined their talents and experience, and brought their different styles and approaches together to offer a rich experience. It’s always different, always live, as it’s tailored to the needs of whoever is there.

Sharon’s approach to OD is pragmatic. She starts where people are and helps them to take a meaningful step. Even a small movement has the potential to make a big difference in change terms.

 


 

John’s approach is ‘real-time and interactive’. He embraces every moment as a learning opportunity for everyone involved – including himself. Impactful and fun conversations get him out of bed every morning.
