How can this course help you?
In today’s white water environment of continuous change, only those organizations that are fast and
agile enough to adapt and innovate can survive. For Land D professionals, this course arms you with
the skills to strategically embed training within larger business driven change initiatives. Similarly,
those in HRM will be able to transition from a transactional approach to a strategic business partner.
The Certificate Course in OD prepares you to facilitate and lead the process of transformation.
What are the Learning Objectives?
The OD practitioner adds value to a client organization through the expert application of the
theories and tools of applied behavioural science and other disciplines so that correct choices about
needed changes can be made and executed.
Participants are expected to be able to:
- Discuss the theory and practice of OD
- Enter into a consultant-client contract
- Diagnose organizations and suggest appropriate interventions
- Lead and facilitate appropriate OD intervention activities
- Assess the impact of interventions
Competency-based Learning
Whether you are an external consultant or one who works for an organization and has been given
OD responsibilities, your success will be greatly improved when you are able to practice and master
the core OD competencies. There are altogether 15 competencies which are arranged into five
major competency clusters shown below.
When it comes to OD, no other institute comes close.
SAIDI School of Organization Development (OD) has a definite thrust. Its current VISION is:
“OD Change Leaders faithful to people-centered and experiential approaches, co-mentoring with their clients in understanding and managing change and its requirements.”
The Southeast Asia Interdisciplinary Institute was established in Manila by Sister Jackie Blondin in 1975 to offer graduate and post-graduate programs in Organization Development and Instructional Development. It is a boutique institution in the sense that it specializes in these two disciplines. The degree (MA and PhD) and non-degree OD programs are offered by the SAIDI School of OD. The faculty for these programs consist of full time SAIDI facilitators, supervisors, and mentors as well as resource persons from other academic institutions, government, non-government and private organizations. SAIDI students come from all walks of life and from all over the world.
SAIDI is known for its brand of academic programs in Organization Development. Being a degree-granting institution recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), SAIDI has established its niche in providing quality and learner-centered Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. However, SAIDI has not only established its OD expertise from its distinguished roster of faculty and alumni, but also in its involvements outside the academic field.
Presently, the main SAIDI campus is situated in the hills of Antipolo, away from the noise of Manila. Facilities include workshop rooms, lecture halls, library, living and dining facilities, internet wi-fi, multi-purpose halls, prayer room and quiet places for silence and contemplation.
Overview of the COD
The SAIDI COD blends together several learning modules that are delivered through a guided
distance learning format. It combines web-based training technology such as e-learning and virtual
classroom with a 5-days classroom learning experience led by experienced OD experts as facilitators.
