OD Academy Certificated Programmes

The OD Practitioner Programme

Anna Pridmore, MODA, who recently became one of our Lifetime Members comments:
“The OD academy offers a broad and effective programme that is helping me develop and enhance my OD consulting capability. It’s supported by a comprehensive set of resources that describe OD in a logical way and is delivered in bite size modules, providing time for discussion, thought, practice and reflection. The programme and mentoring support from award-winning consultant Steve Benfield, MODA, FCMI FIC, helps enormously with the application of skills in a real setting.”

Who is the Programme for?

Designed for both experienced and new to OD Practice, this certificated programme is ideal for leaders and practitioners alike who want to develop and enhance their OD consultancy capability.

You may work with your own clients as an independent consultant, coach or facilitator or be working in an internal consultant, business partner or OD role. You may also be a leader looking to develop OD consulting capability for your organisation.

Who facilitates the Programme?

Delivered by UK and global award-winning OD Practitioner, Steve Benfield, Co-founder of the OD Academy and The Beechfield Partnership, Steve has 30 years of experience in the field of OD practice, and has led on interventions that have been recognised nationally and internationally for the impact they have delivered, winning UK Consultancy Practice of the Year, Great Britain Consulting Champion and twice global silver medallists in ICMCI global consultancy awards in 2013 and 2016.
