Seminars & Consulting
OAD LLC and its Associates provide half-day to four-day seminars on the interpretation and use of the OAD Survey for Human Capital Management and Leadership Development.
Every seminar is tailored to the needs and realities of client participants and their respective organizations. Survey results of the participants and employees are used to discuss actual situations, opportunities, potentials, and problems. Abstract theories of personality and individual, group, and organization behaviors are kept to a minimum and integrated into present and planned realities.
Scheduled seminars are either closed – only participants from a specific organization may attend, or open – the seminar is open to participants from all client organizations.
