The next iteration of the Peter Drucker Certificate Program in OD and Change Leadership is set to begin September 25th.

I’ve actively started seeking professionals to register for the upcoming September 2024 cohort of the Peter Drucker Certificate Program in OD and Change Leadership. This post provides some basic information about the program.

First, it is a certificate program, not a master’s program. It is designed specifically for active OD, I-O, and other professionals who are responsible for planning and leading change in organizations.

Second, 86% of the people who completed the program possessed an MA or MS. 5.2% had Ph.Ds. This is an opportunity to learn from a senior practitioner with over 45 years of experience in OD and from peers who are in either internal or external consulting roles.

Third, the 5-year-old program has been vetted by the Peter Drucker Graduate School of Management and the certificate is signed by the school’s Dean. The program includes a competency assessment, eLearning modules, 9 synchronous online sessions, an online simulation from Harvard Business Press, is highly interactive, and requires passing a difficult and comprehensive final examination.

Fourth, the program is the most comprehensive of its kind and represents the best return on your investment. Take a look at the table comparing this program with others of its kind. You will quickly see the competitive advantages of this proven program. (https://www.landersconsultinggroup.com/drucker/ )

My recent experience with the Drucker Graduate University Certificate Program in OD and Change Leadership has been nothing short of personally and professionally transformative. On a personal level, the program has heightened my awareness of how my actions and behaviors influence those around me. I've learned to navigate interpersonal dynamics with greater sensitivity and mindfulness. This newfound awareness has empowered me to serve as a guiding light within my family and social circles, inspiring others to embrace their own leadership potential.

Professionally, the impact of the program has been profound. Armed with the knowledge gained from the program, I've been able to identify and address issues within my team that were hindering our progress and success. By recognizing and addressing negative behaviors, I've fostered a more collaborative and supportive work environment, conducive to achieving our collective goals.

Whether you aspire to create a more conducive work environment, drive organizational change, or positively impact society, this program provides the knowledge and skills necessary to turn your aspirations into reality. Embrace the opportunity to become a catalyst for positive change, both within your organization and beyond.
