As OD practitioners, we are increasingly having to facilitate and solve complex adaptive challenges that require much greater skill and capability of the practitioner than solving technical challenges alone. The trouble is few practitioners have been adequately trained on how to do this well. Consequently, what happens in many cases is that the wrong people are often engaged in solving the problem, the wrong tools are employed to spur dialogue, and the wrong conversations are initiated resulting in identifying ineffective interventions that either only partially solve the problem or make matters worse.
As a profession, as OD practitioners we can and must do better. To be effective in solving complex adaptive challenges, it requires a different set of knowledge, skills, and capabilities.
Hence, in today’s episode, I want to break down three (3) MUST-HAVE skills that OD practitioners need to possess to effectively solve their clients’ or employer’s most intractable challenges.
My hope is that in learning such skills, you will not only be better equipped to solve complex adaptive challenges, but also possess the requisite confidence to do it well.
In this episode you will learn,
Three MUST-HAVE OD practitioner skills to increase your effectiveness in adequately and sustainably solving ANY complex adaptive challenge
Why such skills are needed and necessary to be effective in solving complex challenges
How possessing such skills can help you in elevating, revitalizing, and transforming what you do and how you do it to be a more effective OD leader
