Master Program: Masters in Organisational Change (AMOC)
Learning purpose
The Ashridge Masters in Organisational Change (AMOC) is an MSc with a unique combination of personal learning and theoretical challenge. Equally valued by external and internal consultants, change agents and facilitators, its experiential approach to learning is designed to build upon participants’ existing consulting skills, provoke self reflection and integrate new learning into their practice right from the start.
A fundamental objective of AMOC is to support participants' learning to become 'reflective practitioners', to enable rigorous inquiry into one's assumptions and perceptions, and notice how they affect the way we relate to groups and organisations.
The programme helps participants to:
- gain a broader awareness of organisations as complex social processes of interaction and the implications of this perspective for leadership, change and organisation consulting
- develop a rigorous basis for self-development grounded in reflective praxis and action research or inquiry
- develop competence in designing, facilitating and understanding small and large group processes and dynamics gain a greater sense of personal presence and enhanced confidence in your own consulting ability.
Programme
The programme is part time over two years involving workshops at Ashridge and a final dissertation. The highly participative nature of the workshops enables participants to bring to the group the benefit of their experience and to think and learn together. By sharing examples from within their current consulting practice, participants can work on issues that are relevant to them, allowing for immediate application of new methodologies to practice.
Groups of five or six participants meet regularly between workshops to consult to each other on live consulting issues. Sensitive facilitation by a faculty member supports the group process through the programme. This focus on using participants' real and current consulting issues as material for developing consulting practice also benefits participants' organisations and clients.
Half way through the AMOC programme, we take part in an exchange visit with participants from the Case Western's Masters programme in Positive Organisational Development (MPOD). The collaboration is designed to share thinking and practice for organisation consultants on both sides of the Atlantic.
