The Centre for Organisation Development (Centre for OD) supports and assists public organisations in their pursuit of continuous improvement and sustained organisation performance, through the use of informed and planned OD interventions that address organisation-wide interests. This includes engaging, educating and equipping OD practitioners at all levels to create the capability to achieve desirable organisational outcomes or excellence.

The Centre for OD undertakes the following areas of work:

Engage with OD practitioners and relevant stakeholders in the public service to better understand their needs and challenges, with the aim of helping them to be more effective in discharging their roles.

Facilitate the development of a vibrant community of OD practitioners in the public service, with the aim of encouraging learning, knowledge transfer and professional support.

Enhance the competence of OD practitioners and organisational leaders by developing relevant learning curriculum and deploying appropriate learning interventions for them.

Improve proficiency in the use of OD tools by producing learning cases and research findings on effective OD practices and the use of OD tools.

Support the adoption of OD practices and tools in public organisations through the provision of advisory services, e.g. employee engagement survey, enterprise risk management, knowledge management.
