Course Information

Our world, our societies and our markets continue to change in radical and unprecedented ways.In this pace of change, organisations have yet to find a language to even describe what is happening to them, much less be able to accurately diagnose emerging dynamics and how they can effectively intervene as leaders. How can organisations design for both adaptability and continuity? How do we meet the demands for both speed and sustainability?

Through this comprehensive learning programme on Organisational Design and Sustainable Culture, we wish to build up the professional capability and capacity to facilitate the timely and sustainable transformation of our organisational, societal and human systems.

This programme which comprise of 11 modules focuses on developing the practitioner as an intervener and instrument of change. Beyond knowledge acquisition, we look at the personhood our students bring with themselves and work with them to become a talent their organisation would like to retain.

These training courses are offered by NP’s Centre for Organisational Resilience and Inclusion (CORI).

Drawing from rich and multidisciplinary bodies of work, CORI offers insights into the often invisible or unnoticed forces at play in our human systems. Through our suite of offerings, CORI will empower individuals with the knowledge to accurately strategise and intervene for the work that they are a part of, be it in the workplace, community and relationships.

What CORI offers

Consultancy
