Mastery of Management Graduate Diploma on

Organisational Understanding & Development

This Program is designed to help managers (and potential and developing managers), supervisors, executives and others to manage more effectively and to improve organisational performance through gaining a clear understand of the processes, nature, motivation and behaviour of individuals and groups in organisations.

It is important for managers to understand the people-organisation relationship, and the social systems that exist and develop in organisations.  With that knowledge they can decide upon and implement actions and control which benefit both the employees and the organisation to the maximum.  Awareness and management of the organisational culture and climate, and an understanding of the factors affecting employee’s commitment lead to both managerial and organisational development and effectiveness, and reflect positively on the organisation’s attitude and ability to deal with change.


Through an understanding of the processes and relationships in work organisations, of management, and the behaviour of people at work, managers will be able to make the best use of people as valuable resources to the mutual benefit of all organisational stakeholders, and learn how to use their own power, authority, skills and leadership abilities to best effect.
