Meetings

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 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!

May Quarterly Meeting a Hit!

Our May topic was “BUILDING A PERFORMANCE/PRODUCTIVITY BASED CULTURE”. The speaker was Kathy McGinley, Vice President, Human Resources for ISTA Pharmaceuticals. Kathy and a guest panel addressed the subject of how companies can achieve a performance based culture focused on results and impact rather than effort or time on the job. Most companies are looking for pragmatic ways to move from the traditional productivity model of time worked to the measurement of business results achieved. ISTA Pharmaceuticals is working on this challenge through setting corporate culture and expectations of the workforce and putting programs such as “Find A Better Way Day” in place.
