The Master of Science in Positive Organization Development and Change (MPOD) is a unique program created and offered by the world-renowned Organizational Behavior Department at the Weatherhead School of Management. It is specifically geared toward the needs of managers and change agents from a wide variety of roles and organizations that face continual change, increasing complexity and growing interconnectedness in multicultural contexts, and that must respond in ways that will yield sustainable value. Toward this end, the MPOD program emphasizes strength-based and positive approaches to managing change, designing sustainable institutions, formulating effective strategy, creating high engagement work cultures, leading through emotional intelligence, coaching for high performance, and deep personal and professional development. It will be of value to organizations with aspiring managers who wish to: Build new capabilities in strategic-level change interventions that create value for customers and communities Broaden their knowledge of leading-edge theory and practice in appreciative inquiry, strength-based human resource development and positive organizational change research Develop emotional intelligence competencies needed to coach and foster leadership skills and personal growth in one's self and others Form extraordinary teams and enterprises that enable human flourishing, are economically prosperous and ecologically advanced, and unite strengths with aspirations Engage in lifelong experiential learning to realize, develop and model themselves as agents for positive change The MPOD program is grounded in the basic belief that a person can be a powerful instrument for change, and that personal and professional development go hand in hand. The learning experience will enable participants to become more effective at designing and conducting positive change interventions that have much better chances of success than traditional approaches, to have experiential opportunities to become more self-aware, to practice and experiment with new skills, and to give and receive coaching that can be life changing. Curriculum The MPOD program is conducted in five separate week-long residencies and one 7-day international tour spread over 18 months. These residencies are conveniently spaced 10-12 weeks apartâ€”thereby making the program flexible enough to accommodate the busy schedules of leaders, managers and staff professionals. This design will enable students to attend school while continuing to work on a full-time basis. The intervening periods (between program residencies) will involve project and group work, self-study, written assignments, reading and online guidance done in collaboration with the faculty at CWRU. One of the many rewarding aspects of the MPOD program is the 7-day international study tour. Students will travel as a cohort where they will join with other students from Katholieke University in Leuven, Belgium. Major Course Topics Foundations of Positive Organization Development and Change Organization Design for a Knowledge World Leadership and Executive Assessment and Development Sustainability for Strategic Advantage Interpersonal Skill Building Experiential Learning for Individuals, Teams, and Organizations Practicum in Appreciative Inquiry and Positive OD Individual Field Project Foundations of Strategic Thinking The Dynamics of Effective Consulting and Implementation
