Organisational Development Training Programme

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is seeking an external supplier to deliver a programme of development at Organisational Development (OD) practitioner level that collectively builds the skills and capability for a group of approximately 15 individuals.

Delegates for this programme would include the full OD team (7) together with Senior Colleagues from our Learning and Development Team (7/8).

We are open to proposals regarding the content of the programme however we would anticipate the following to be covered:

Current theories and practices within OD

Systems thinking

Self as instrument (including building self-awareness)

Stakeholder engagement and relationship building

Culture change

Data gathering approaches and analysis in relation to understanding the organisation including large group work.

Power in organisations

Group dynamics and facilitation approaches (large and small group)

Internal consultancy

Psychological Safety and working in a virtual world.

Whilst we are open to the use of technology to support and enhance the learning, we do have a requirement to support group/ team development within this new team. We therefore anticipate this being delivered in part through a modular in-person environment away from our office environment ideally with a residential element to enhance team dynamics. As we are a national organisation this could be delivered anywhere in the country

Learning transfer is important to us, so we also require experimentation and appropriate OD work to be built into the programme and completed between modules with the purpose of practical application of the new skills and knowledge in a safe environment.

The Contract will be for an initial period of 12 Months with an option to extent for up to 3 Months.
