Organizational Behavior Management (OBM)

Organizational Behavior Management is an evidence-based method for measurably influencing behaviour in organisations. Both in terms of philosophy and methodology, OBM seamlessly aligns with Lean and Lean Six Sigma. Where other approaches focus on systems and processes, OBM focuses on human behaviour, the factor that determines whether a transformation endures or fails.

In this three-day masterclass, you will learn and apply the fundamental principles of OBM. You will work with practical case studies, practise behaviour specification and analysis, and learn to design interventions that genuinely work. This training is a recognised first step towards the Post Graduate programme to become a Certified OBM Practitioner from the Vrije Universiteit.

Guided by consultants who apply this daily in practice.
