Learning Groups Learning Groups consist of five participants working together with a staff consultant over the two years duration of the Graduate Diploma in Organisation Change and Development. These groups are an integral part of the program and offer a different kind of space in which participants explore the links between their personal learning agendas, their change projects and issues raised in seminars and workshops over the two years. Workshops These offer an intense experience for participants, and accelerate learning and the development of the group. Workshops focus on processes at the individual, group and organisational level. The workshops use a psycho-dynamic approach to explore the conscious and unconscious processes or organisational life.
Workshops range from one to five days in length, are non-residential, and are held during weekdays.
Individual Supervision Supervised professional practice is an important and unique aspect of this field. This supports their learning and examines their practice as consultants and change agents in their organisations. The approach taken to research in this program is that of research as engagement. The view that science involves a quest for certain knowledge that can be evaluated in an unambiguous way is replaced with a view that science is not simply about the acquisition of knowledge, but is a means of expressing ourselves, transforming and generally coping with our world. Participants utilise Action Research methodology to undertake change projects within their own or client organisations.
