Organizational Interventions — Disruption and Change

Catalog description

Organizations experience both externally imposed disruption and internally planned changes. This course prepares students to diagnose the internal and external environments when disruption and change occurs and develop plans to support the organization as it undergoes changes. Students utilize research in several fields to make informed decisions and collect research within organizations to make decisions, including psychometric assessments. The course also prepares students to understand the psycho-social impact of such changes on the workforce and make appropriate group-level and individual-level interventions. Students develop coaching and process consultation skills for future application in organizational development.
