Next Meeting: August 12th, 2010
When and how do you develop an OD strategy?

Several corporate strategies come into play when companies grow, but ...

  • How do you know when the right time for a strategic and cultural shift is?
  • How do you identify and agree on the needs of the organization and therefore employees and get buy in from the employees as well?

Wouldn't this be a good time to start planning your OD strategy for managing this growth and preparing for your next phase of growth? What does it look like and how do you get buy-in from the Management Team or even the CEO?

Our panel:
Denise Pizzulli Kirwa (TracksGlobal Business Consulting) and Debora Rocco (Former Chief Learning Officer for Amylin).

They will provide you with their perspective on organizational development so that you can understand how and when you should introduce this skill-set to your company to get buy in. Or, if you already have an OD function in place, see how other experts have created deliverables and how success in this function is measured.

Plan on attending our next Quarterly meeting on: August 12th 3:30 - 5:00 Ardea Biosciences Bring a friend!
