Management training: Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) Foundation™

As a manager, have you asked yourself whether your organization’s transformation programs have led to the desired outcome? Has your team changed fundamental behavior patterns, or did you maybe just introduce new processes and artifacts?

The truth is that many transformations do not achieve their goals, with "Behavior" being one of the most cited reasons. Questions come up in the boardroom such as: why haven't we been able to make people move the way we intended in the program? And how can we change that in a sustainable way?

Many initiatives and programs around Digital Transformation and the introduction of an Agile/ DevOps way of working are focusing on technology, e.g. automated software delivery pipelines and self-service Cloud platforms. In fact, advanced technology can lead to major improvements, but the truth is, that the full leverage of business value creation is tied to changes in people’s behavior. How the team members are aligned, how communication is organized, and how leadership is manifested, is not depending on technology shifts. It’s about how humans (inter)act.

Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) is a scientifically proven method for optimizing organizational performance. It has been used successfully worldwide for over 45 years in different fields of business. By following a 7-step-protocol, OBM focuses on positively changing behavior in combination with organizational results, creating a lasting positive effect on organizational performance.

This training is perfect for

Managers and leaders who want to lift the performance of their teams to the next level and want to ignite positive change in the behavior of their team members, peers, and themselves. Practicing OBM within an organization works like a catalyst for measurable performance improvement.
