LEARNINGS IN OCHANGE
Ochange is the next step to be taken after theoryo. There were parts during the whole class this term that we were able to make use of our knowledge from the theoryo class especially systems theory. It was also easier to understand other lectures in class since others were already discussed before in other major classes. Like for crisis management in organizations and what is a moral or better decision to make for an organization. Like the group activities that we did in class. Through this we were able to understand more.

LESSON 19: LEARNINGS IN OCHANGE
Learnings in OCHANGE
A lot has happened this term as well as learned in ochange class. We learned that there are a lot of things that not only can we make use of it or incorporate it in organizations but also we can make use of in our daily lives. Through the class we were also able to find out or understand ourselves more especially when we were asked to take the test and somehow maybe to the ones that really answered the survey/test sincerely they were able to get results that would really resemble who they are. Though at times there were a lot of readings that it was hard to read at times and understand. But overall, the ochange experience was really fulfilling that at the end of this term we are equipped with more skills and knowledge that could help us have the edge over the others especially in finding jobs after college. It was also a privilege to be able to be taught by a teacher like Ms. Fernando who is very patient with us, even though at times we become noisy in class and for that we thank her.

LESSON 15: SIMUREAL
SIMUREAL
http://change-management-toolbook.com/mod/book/view.php?id=74&chapterid=125
It was said from this article that as for the outcome of when simureal is used it was said that SimuReal holds a “mirror” to the organization about how it actually works (or does not work). It can be a powerful change agent, because everyone sees the impact of the system and can self-organize to improve it. This as I understand it means that simureal is a very effective change intervention for organizations but simureal as discussed by the group in class said that simureal cannot be used if the organization is in a big crisis. This could be because it would be hard to solve a problem that is really big like bankruptcy in just one day, knowing that the simureal is a one day process.

LESSON 15: SIMUREAL
Simureal
I learned that it would be best to use Simureal if the organization would want to shorten the time that they implement or make decisions in the company. Another is that one or an organization can make use of simureal to “test drive” a restructuring plan before it is implemented in the organization. Since simureal is a fast process since the action learning is in hyperdrive, it also takes less time for the organization to undergo this process. It is only a 1 day event that is organized for the organization. Also, the facilitators are key factors to the success of the event. Since it is through their event planning and analysis that the organization depends on.

LESSON 11: GEMBA KAIZEN
GEMBA KAIZEN
http://www.shingijutsu-global.com/gembakaizen.html
From this article I was able to see the Gemba Kaizen process in action and what it was able to do for the organization. It was said from the article that Addressing problems on this level can make a dramatic difference -- the difference of success.
As you will see, personally experiencing the results of Kaizen activity is worth a thousand words, as both staff and management, together, recognize the benefits of Gemba Kaizen.
So for the organization the Gemba Kaizen was a success and they were able to have a better workplace.

LESSON 11: GEMBA KAIZEN
Gemba Kaizen
I learned that through Kemba Kaizen, the results are rapidly seen as the team or the organization improves. The aim of Gemba Kaizen is based on developing people who are problem solvers focused on serving customers and improving performance through waste elimination. I also think that with Gemba Kaizen you can also make use of it especially at the home because it could create a more organized atmosphere for the family. This could be used for tasking of the household choirs at the home.

LESSON 7: LARGE SCALE OD INTERVENTIONS
LARGE SCALE OD INTERVENTIONS
http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~rouda/T5_LSRTOD.html
From this article I was able to understand more what Large Scale intervention is and how it could really save time for the organization. According to this article a Large scale intervention means that the organization would come to one place at the time that they chose to meet and as a whole, the organization would fix the issue/problem that should be fixed for the improvement of the organization. The preparation process for large scale interventions is very crucial since it could make or break the success of the intervention to be done to the organization. In addition to this, the fascilitators also play a crucial role in this since they are the ones that handle the process or guide the change process during the intervention.

LESSON 7: LARGE SCALE OD INTERVENTIONS
Large Scale OD Interventions (Characteristics, Elements, Areas of Change)
Results of Large Group Interventions
From the lesson given in class I was able to learn a lot about OD interventions and how it could be of big help to organizations. As I was going through the readings it made me want to look for what the major features are of Large Scale OD interventions. Luckily i was able to find this and from it I was able to understand more.
FEATURES:
1. the theory-base uses less action research and discrepancy theory, and focuses on application of systems theory
2. the data base source is no longer internal to the organization, but now involves both the organization and its environment (an open-systems approach)
3. the data base, which formerly had limited availability, is now widely shared throughout the organization
4. time: what was formerly a slow "waterfall" process is now a fast, quick response which results in immediate action taking place
5. learning moves from the individual or unit to the whole organization
6. the responsibility and accountability moves from senior management to a mixture of senior management plus the whole system
7. the consultant role, formerly reserved for data collection and feedback, now also includes structures and facilities for data analysis and action planning
8. the change process moves from incremental change to fundamental, organization-wide change"

LESSON 3: DEVELOPING SELF AWARENESS AND MANAGING SELF
Reference: http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200509/managing-the-self
Managing the self, in doing so first you look at your appearance and how you are perceived by the people around you. This is also related to self awareness because It does not only mean that you are aware of your attitude but you are also aware of yourself physically. Managing the self is a continuous process that one goes through daily. I feel that it would take more than a day to just understand and analyze how you are perceived by others. But one thing that I understand and believe in is that you cannot please everyone. There would always be this one person that would not approve of you. I think that in managing the self it is also important to consider one’s reaction to critique by others because a remark given would not mean that it is always positive, it is inevitable that in life there would always be negative criticisms. What one can do is to make use of these to help them be better individuals.

LESSON 3: DEVELOPING SELF AWARENESS AND MANAGING SELF
Reference: http://www.pathwaytohappiness.com/self-awareness.htm
From the topic self-awareness what I got from the lecture was that it would be really helpful for one to know or be aware about their self. By knowing their strengths and weaknesses and what skills they have or their edge over others. Especially in finding a job after college it would be good if you know yourself and what you can impart to the company your working for. In knowing the self you will be able to know or understand yourself more. Like in class when we were asked to take the test geared towards the self, I was able to find out and understand more my way of thinking. I was also fascinated that the results of the test were actually right about me. Also, there are some tests that could be taken online that suggest what you can do to improve yourself more especially the attitude and way of thinking. Also it would help to once a week relax and just think of the things that you have done and reflect more on how you can do better or improve.
