Helping you to advance your change & Organisation Development (OD) practice

Do real OD work with a real client - there's no role play here!

The centrepiece of the week is real Organisation Development work, helping a real client with a live challenge

Last time we supported a senior team from a cancer charity to ‘figure out hybrid working’ to enable their strategy and values.

Your facilitators

Delivered in partnership by experienced facilitators

This rather special programme was co-designed and is co-facilitated by Sharon Varney and John Hovell working in partnership. Over the past 6 years, John and Sharon have combined their talents and experience, and brought their different styles and approaches together to offer a rich experience. It’s always different, always live, as it’s tailored to the needs of whoever is there.

Sharon’s approach to OD is pragmatic. She starts where people are and helps them to take a meaningful step. Even a small movement has the potential to make a big difference in change terms.

John’s approach is ‘real-time and interactive’. He embraces every moment as a learning opportunity for everyone involved – including himself. Impactful and fun conversations get him out of bed every morning.
