OBM Foundation, Organizational Behavior Management

OBM stands for Organizational Behavior Management, a practical and scientifically proven approach to behavior change in organizations. As a manager, project leader or consultant, you constantly have to deal with people’s behaviour. In addition to knowledge and competencies, behavior plays a major role when working in an organization. Both when it comes to daily activities and during a change process.

In change processes, the substantive components are often easier to influence than the behavioral components that belong to the change. As a manager, you often spend a large part of your time and budget on managing and facilitating people, but these efforts sometimes do not seem to yield the desired and expected result. Employees often have their own view on and sometimes an interest in a change. Knowledge about the functioning and influencing of behavior is necessary to arrive at different, new behavior.

With the OBM Foundation course, you as a manager or project leader will be given a number of practical tools with which you can get the best out of people in a positive way and make the organization perform better.

Strengths of Organizational Behavior Management are:

– OBM is a positive approach aimed at getting the best out of people;

– OBM is a proven approach that has been applied for decades;

– Through a practical and scientifically proven step-by-step plan, performance is measured and demonstrably improved;
