Seeing & Shifting Systems (Dec 2021)

Introduction to Organisational Development for Designers

Seeing & Shifting Systems (Dec 2021)

About this Workshop

Do you want to better understand an organisation and help it to shift to a healthier and more impactful place? If so, welcome to the wonderful role of supporting human systems, a role that designers are well suited for in today’s increasingly complex world.

This two-day workshop will provide you with frameworks and tools from the field of Organisation Development (OD) that can help you support the organisations and communities you work with. This includes a deeper understanding of how organisations tend to behave, an inquiry into the ways you interact with internal and external stakeholders and an introduction to an adaptable OD process. A number of resources will also be provided after the workshop to support you along your journey.

What You’ll Learn

Over two days, you will learn to see and shift organisations through:

  1. Organisation Workshop. Participate in an experiential activity to see how the top, middle and bottom layers of an organisation often act the way they do and how to help them become healthier.
  2. Consulting Styles Matrix. A profile to raise your self-awareness and help you see the various ways that you can engage with organisations and be more strategic in how you interact with both internal and external stakeholders.
  3. Action Research. A 7-phase process of how to seek transformative change in organisations. This is done through simultaneously taking action and doing research, which are linked together with critical reflection. We will look at some of the nuances and tools of each phase, combined with discussions, role plays, and reflections.

This is for you if…

  • You want to manage stakeholders more skillfully.
  • You contribute to large decisions for organisations.
  • You want to understand why organisations behave the way they do.
  • You want to present ideas and insights in more impactful ways.
  • You spend as much time with people as you do with your designs.
  • You want to facilitate conversations better.
