Viable Projects GmbH and OBM Dynamics B.V. are pleased to announce their partnership in offering Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) Foundation Level Trainings.

Viable Projects has become the first Certified Partner of OBM Dynamics to sell and deliver the OBM Foundation Level Training under license in the German speaking part of Europe.

Viable Projects was among the first companies outside The Netherlands to have one of its trainers certified as Certified OBM Instructor, recognizing OBM as a strong and natural extension of their portfolio. Having built a successful business in Kanban, Agile, Facilitation, The Responsibility Process, Adaptive Org Design, simulations, project-management and business-analysis they are embracing OBM to ensure leaders in organizations understand the importance of organizational behavior management.

OBM helps leaders and influencers design practical strategies that can be used to change behavior. It instigates methods to improve human performance leading to an improvement in business goals.

The three-day Foundation training is a hands-on course, based on a variety of scientific resources that is actively supported by ADRIBA (the Aubrey Daniels Research Institute for Behavior Analysis, part of VU University in Amsterdam). Examination and Certification of OBM training participants is processed by APMG International, another partner of both OBM Dynamics and Viable Projects.

Dieter Strasser, CEO of Viable Projects: "Business agility can only be achieved by addressing the organisation AND the people. OBM provides the necessary clear guidance of behaviour by understanding motivation. The illuminating breakdown and its causal relationship into antecedents, behaviour and consequences makes THE essential difference day after day. This mature method supports in solving about 80% of all recurring challenges in dealing with people. It supports both the leader and the performer. Economically outstanding results and a motivating work environment can be achieved for the benefit of all involved. We see OBM, along with the Responsibility Process, as THE key for every individual."

 

Organizational Behavior Management is a science to optimize performance

Repeated research has shown that a staggering 70% of organizational change programs fail to meet all their objectives. In no less than 60% of those cases, 'Behavior' is determined as the root cause.

By understanding how to influence behavior leaders can start to better understand and manage people at work, in forming a culture that contributes to meeting strategic goals such as improved customer satisfaction.

Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) is a scientifically proven method for optimizing organizational performance, combining a 'seven-step protocol' with hard data and a focus on encouraging and reinforcing positive behavioral changes. The 'seven-steps' include how to determine pinpoints, develop a measurement system and designing and implementing a solution.

Used successfully worldwide for over 40 years, OBM has a proven track record of improving organizational performance in every field of business, in hundreds of reported cases, by focusing on behaviors instead of results only.

Joost Kerkhofs & Robert den Broeder (Founders & Directors, OBM Dynamics B.V.) say, "People love change! As long as they benefit from it themselves! The training and certification draws from a wealth of scientific studies, bringing to life how behavior can impact organizational change.

We have trained hundreds of leaders and influencers in the Netherlands. Since 2010 we have collected an impressive number of cases on how OBM has successfully helped public and private organisations to achieve their goals. These cases have shown that behavior is the key to successfully apply best practices, frameworks and management philosophies such as Agile, DevOps, Scrum and Lean. We look forward to working with Viable Projects to help extend the use of OBM."
