Benefits the organization can look forward to from ODCP learning – through the current year and upon completion of the course.
Organisations sponsoring candidates derive the following benefits for the candidate and themselves:
- The commitment and motivational level of the candidate in terms self esteem, to partner in the designing the future of the Organisation will increase, and simultaneously creating a new awareness in other senior colleagues that the Organisation is keen on encouraging self and professional development of people who stay to learn new traits and competencies that support future leadership qualities.
- Upon completion of the course the candidate will substitute for an external OD consultant and bring in intangible savings in terms of consulting fee and offer continuity of development programmes and change initiatives. He/she will be trained to become an internal process consultant to facilitate productive senior level meetings. If the candidate is brilliant in acquiring the consulting skills she/he will be a ready made future leader from within, thus saving on recruitment costs and special training costs.
- The espoused values of OD are very profound and far reaching into the future. Therefore the candidates will be an internal change agent and an influencer of policy bringing objective analysis of facts and clinical in looking at assumptions behind impulsive decisions. They will be able to drive CSR initiatives and programmes with ease, and will design appropriate programmes and CSR teams to suit Company needs and SR objectives.
- In special cases where they specialize in coaching or training systems he/she will be an internal assessor and monitor to oversee the coaching and L&D programmes and anchor them on scientific lines.
- The net saving on training the individual through the same set of inputs from private consulting groups and cost of other logistics will be 50% of the programme fee paid for ODCP and in a year’s interval. The quality of the learning is higher as the same group from diverse experience and work background exchange notes and perceptions consistently over the year.
