This course is primarily a laboratory training experience based on a model refined over the decades by National Training Laboratories. The NTL model, which focuses on personal and group development, is supplemented to provide a richer experience for understanding and applying group-process theory. Further opportunities to develop and practice sophisticated group facilitation skills are provided. Due to the intense nature of the group experiences and the potential for psychological risk, admission is at the discretion of the instructor, but should be a collaborative decision between instructor and student. Students managing a personal crisis should not consider the course until the crisis is well under control. Students engaged in psychotherapy or counseling should notify the instructor prior to registering. Requirement for the MS, Organizational Change Management and Advanced Certificate in Organizational Development. Priority is given to students for whom the course is required.
