Vertical Organizational Development

Vertical Organizational Development Certification Program

This program looks beyond individual transformation and offers insights into bringing about change within an organizational context. Join us as we explore multiple perspectives of vertical organisational development and discover GLA’s unique tools which help support the Action Inquiry approach.

Ideal for coaches, consultants and corporate organisational development practitioners who wish to further their developmental learning within an organizational context, this program is offered over six, interactive sessions and is being run at times suitable for our Europe & US communities.

The themes we will be exploring include:

• Organizational Stages of Development – How can Organizations match the growth they see in their leaders
•  The Organization as Human (Complex Adaptive) System – How does a systemic view of change differ from traditional change methodologies, Informal and Formal Systems, Using Constellation Tools in Organizations
• Liberating Structures: Enabling Organizational Transformation
• The ‘I to We Bridge’ How to support developing leaders, fit into, increase contribution to, and shift their organizational context
• Designing Vertical Leadership Interventions
• Organizational Pullbacks: Where do they get stuck? When is it helpful and when is it not so? How do we unstick the stuck?
• Organizational Culture through a Vertical Lens
• Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry (CDAI) as an Engine for Transformation

Offered by Richard Izard and Danny Morris alongside a facilitation team including Senior Associates and members of our International Coaching Bench, this certification program comprehensively blends the what, why and how of organizational transformational development.

On completion, participants will be awarded a Certificate in Vertical Organizational Development.
