| Post Graduate Diploma in Organization Development (PGD – OD) |
|
| PGD – OD programme designed by FRED is for students with a bachelor’s degree and about 3 years of work experience in Industry, Trade, Govt Dept./Govt. Organisation and Academia.
The programme comprises of 3 Terms spread over 11 months and 3 months of project work (concurrent).
The First Term of the programme is devoted to the functional aspects of management covering all areas of management, the Second Term is devoted to learning and experiencing the foundations of OD, and the Third Term is devoted to complete the training in all OD tools and Techniques. The students are asked to do a practical OD project work with guidance from the faculty, concurrently, during the Second & the Third Terms |
|
| The Classes are conducted in a central location in Bangalore on Saturdays (4 Hours) and Sundays (6 Hours) every week, starting from June 2009. |
|
| The Programme is highly rigorous, interactive and experiential one with a sound theoretical base emphasizing much more on the practical aspects of Management. This Programme is designed to build the skills of the students as OD specialists. Right from the very beginning, students are trained in the specially designed workshop course, where they learn to design, develop & implement OD interventions. |
|
| The students will go through sensitivity training at the very beginning. Sensitivity training is a part of human relations training that aims to make people act and feel differently, not merely to change their thinking, but also their behaviour. It is based on the concept of the empathy, which is to actually perceive a situation with another person’s point of view and emotions. |
|
| Simulation of business environment through management games and psychological activities is carried out to develop involvement and engagement of the participants to make the learning purposeful and effective. Participants are given group projects and are encouraged to work together, study together and present themselves as teams. Through this they experience the challenges associated with the group dynamics & interpersonal communication. |
| Learning Plan |
| The learning plan is a living document for the participant to map the studies based on one’s professional and personal goals and objectives. |
| The students begin designing learning plan during the application process and continue to shape it throughout the program. It begins with answering important questions about interests, skills, and potential outcomes and competencies and is further developed in the new student orientation. |
| It is formally revisited again between the first and second trimesters during a face-to-face session with faculty and student colleagues. The learning plan becomes an indispensable tool for designing your final project and evaluating program outcomes. |

| Induction Process of Students: |
| a. Human Process Laboratory |
| Objectives: To provide students a learning opportunity to become aware of their own patterns of behavior, know the impact of their behavior on others, know the impact of others’ behavior on themselves, and improve their effectiveness in interpersonal interactions to derive greater mutual satisfaction. |
|
| Methodology: Human Process Lab will use experiential learning and the self-analytical T-group training process as the main methodology. The program uses unstructured experience based learning processes to allow inter-personal exploration and increase self awareness, unblock dysfunctional behavior and practice proactive ways of relating and working. Students, with self-empowering facilitation, explore personal, inter-personal and group dynamics to understand, experiment, practice and commit to behaviours that enhance personal effectiveness. In sum, the program provides opportunity for self-empowerment and growth to increase effectiveness in unstructured inter-personal, group and community setting |
|
| Outbound Learning Exercise: Learning for executives on human relations issues through outbound programmes has many unique benefits that inbound training programmes can not provide. Some of the salient features of outbound learning are given below: |
| In serene surroundings one can totally focus on learning without office work interruptions. |
|
|
The enchanting atmosphere of outbound sites creates a climate where people can relate informally and establish deeper bonds at personal level. |
|
| Variety of physical activities which involve mutual cooperation provide the expert facilitator to observe and facilitate learning on team and personality issues. |
