Business Acumen Series: Deliberately Developmental Organizations

We’re bringing back The Business Acumen Series! Launched in fall 2022, this series of workshops will help your organization achieve success, with a focus on Deliberately Developmental Organizations, a model developed by Harvard Business School faculty to help workplaces unlock the power of every employee.

Through extensive study, researchers found that Deliberately Developmental Organizations (DDOs) improve the business processes that deliver results by unlocking the full skill and insight of their employees and when embedding personal growth into daily work activities, both people and organizations thrive. Also, DDOs experience:

• increased profitability,
• improved employee retention,
• reductions in employee downtime,
• less interdepartmental strife, and
• faster solutions to tough problems.

DDO concepts can be adopted in organizations large and small, and we encourage you to register for all three workshops in order to fully leverage the model in your workplaces. Whether you are a CEO or a Team Member, the DDO Business Acumen Series will provide you with valuable tools to be deliberately developmental with the personal development of yourself and others that will lead to the transformation of your company culture and create a strategic planning environment that is integral to a successful organization.
