Caribbean Academy of Business organized an Organizational Development & Change Workshop on July 9th, 2009 for companies on Aruba provided by Prof Coos van Tuinen Ph.D.
In this workshop the students and Professor Van Tuinen discussed and practised Organizational Development and Change in their organizations.
With regard to change one studies how change processes develop, what kind of interventions work, what kind of interventions match certain changes, what kind of contexts are relevant and what competencies and attitudes of change agents are desired. The so called theory of colors by Prof. Dr. Léon de Caluwé (an oversight of change thoughts) is very popular. Gaming is a set of interventions which are aimed to give participants learning experiences. They are executed in a group setting and in a powerful simulated learning environment. Thinking and doing are tightly coupled and the learning experiences are tuned towards the daily practices. In the research on management consultancy: roles, interventions and effects of the work of management consultants are studied and implications for practitioners are described.
