 Final Assignment by Anna Russo 

 Challenge 

 I am an HRBP & OD Manager at a desalination and water treatment   organization . we are spread over 5 different geographies . Within my   responsibilities are the complete training and development of our ~450   employees worldwide . Organizational development holds many different areas .   For this assignment I focused on the managers development program , which I   build based on my own agenda , OD trends that I collect , and statements   regarding performance from managers in our routine meetings , or from the   performance management review process . 

 Managers Development programs usually try to gather the employees and not   only teach them techniques but to become a group of associates , that opens   about managerial issues and dilemmas . In the current state that gathering is   banned creating a 6 meetings program seems unreal . 

 Selection 

 I decided to try a learning launch . with all the data I collected , after my team   gathered and thought together what our possibilities are , I decided to try a first   session for our Team Leaders that will be on - line and will try to achieve our   managers development goals . 

 Application 

 I set a date and scheduled the meeting . Found a sales and marketing manager   to share a case study regarding decision making . We built the presentation   together by colliding the theoretical background with the actual way decisions are   made in my company . Exploring our GO - NO - GO procedure . 

 Instead of a serious of meetings I built just the learning launch . Tried to set   specific slides for queries so that people will not be silent during this session and   they will have to participate . 

 When the session started , I asked all participants to turn their cameras on , and   explained that although it ’s an online session this is n’t a lecture . And I expect   them to share and participate as they would have done in a regular gathering .

 I think that by taking this learning launch I got out of the freeze situation that is   very present in the learning and development zone . 

 Having to switch to on - line approaches is n’t easy and made me build this session   in a different way then I ’m used to . It took a lot of thinking how to keep it short-   since people are bored easily sitting in front of the computer , interesting- by   switching between theory and real life on every aspect , and engaging so that   people will actively participate and form a meaningful group of people . This   worked great and gave me a lot of courage to try do things in different and new   ways . 

 Approach 

 I think I ’ll have more courage next time and I will try to take the participants to the   next level of participating by giving them to lead some of the meeting , make them   prepare materials and create an on - line discussion that is even deeper . The   course made me realize that there is n’t just one way of doing things and that   there is more then what we are used to . Allowing myself to think in a more   holistic way , collecting the data in order to gather a new perception is what I take   with me in order to enlarge that picture more and more .
