Week two assignment

Prior to preparing your journal entry, review the video for an outside look at the role of the OD consultant.

During Week 1, you had a preliminary look at the OD consultant and the responsibilities they have during a change process. Your journal entry briefly reviewed your early understanding of the required skill set, and where your skills fit within that schematic.

Digging a bit deeper, Chapter 3 in the course text explains the details behind the practice. In addition, you researched and analyzed OD consultant job descriptions for an enhanced knowledge of the role.

Using this new knowledge,

  • Develop a profile and description of your technical, interpersonal, and consulting competencies (current or desired).
  • Include a paragraph explaining the role and style you will use for consulting.
  • Prioritize the technical, interpersonal, and consulting competencies you might need to learn to be a confident and skilled practitioner.

The journal entry must be a minimum of one full page of content and provide pertinent and logical dialog related to the role of the OD consultant.
