The Meta Model of Change provides the foundation for understanding the multiple facets of effective organizational intervention.  The model was developed by renowned organization development practitioners, Edith Whitfield Seashore and Dr. Michael Broom for use in the Johns Hopkins Fellows in the Management of Change Program.  It is currently being used in the OD Practitioners Programs being held in New York City, Columbia, Maryland, and Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

Through an understanding of the Meta Model, Edie and Michael will help us to look at the depth of our ability to use ourselves as effective agents of change.  The stages of consulting – contracting, data gathering, intervention, evaluation, and disengagement – will be considered, as well as the seven fundamental principles of managing change.  These topics include:

These seven disciplines are a highlight of Michael Broom’s recently released book The Infinite Organization:  Celebrating the Positive Use of Power in Managing Organizations.

The program is appropriate for both new and seasoned OD Practitioners interested in pushing their consulting skills to the next level.
