2016 - TrainHR is conducting a Webinar on Diagnostic Essentials for Managers and Leaders

Overview: This 90-minute webinar provides an explanation of the action research method, the fundamental problem identification process proven through decades of use in the field of Organization Development. Each stage of the process is introduced and discussed, examples are provided. Participants are invited to use "back-home"issues or problems of their own as a way of applying the principles and practices provided in the webinar. The take away is an understanding of applying action research methods to effectively navigate the trap of reacting to a symptom, and getting on with appropriate diagnostic activities.
Why should you attend: Problems cost money. Regardless of the type of problem, it's source, longevity, seriousness, elusiveness, or staying power, an unsolved problem can be very costly and become a significant thorn in the side of any organization. Add to that, many individuals charged with identification and solving of a significant problem who are unaware of appropriate methods to do so find themselves facing failure and its associated long-term stress.
