In this course, we discuss how in effective organizations, the vision, values, and purpose derive from the convictions of people in the organization and inform all other components of the organization. We start with a brief overview of how when the core components of effective organizations are in alignment with the vision, values, and purpose, they are more likely to be in alignment with one another and lead to effective work in a sustainable organization. 

This leads to a conversation about how a systems-led approach to Organization Development (OD) is essential in creating sustained organizational performance, takes longer than you think, and can be messy.  Then we explore how OD is the process through which an organization develops an internal capacity to sustain itself over the long term.  This course offers a critical perspective on organization development and highlights the direct connection between a commitment to ongoing OD approaches and the achievement of organizational purpose.

I appreciate the instructor's commentary, however this section was surface-level, just describing the concepts without providing examples or context. Both would have helped make a richer content presentation.

Another great course. This one takes a deep dive into organizations as systems. I found the part abut story-telling to to be especially useful. Stories help embed the purpose and create reality for people.

Good intro to different frameworks. Nonetheless, it would have been better to have a summary table to show which frameworks are suitable to which scenarios. Right now, it's still a bit ambiguous.

I like that part about organization components. It validated my belief that we should find the connection and effect of each element in the organization to the entire organization.

This presentation emphasized theory but offered little that can be used practically. The bottom line message - contract with an OD consultant.

Good course, even though a bit more variety of frameworks could have been discussed. Still, great overview and good material!
