Communities of Practice - Organization Development Practitioners
This community of practice is specifically for organization development practitioners. We loosely define that to mean anyone who is internal or external and is regularly part of helping to manage or drive change.
The Pacific Northwest Organization Development Network (PNODN) is coordinating Communities of Practice for OD professionals. The purpose of this group is to offer opportunities for OD professionals or anyone leading projects or change initiatives in the greater business community to come together with like-minded practitioners to consult with each other, learn socio-technical components of change, share best practices, and develop through collaboration.
The initial meeting will be a four-hour session to build the community of practice including -
- Joining
- Member agreements
- Learn case study presentation frame
- Learn socio-technical aspects
- Establish the 6 month calendar
- Establishing the next few months of case study presenters
The groups will continue for six months. After the initial four-hour meeting, each meeting will be two hours. Groups will be facilitated by a PNODN Board member.
Communities of practice are limited to 10 participants. Sign up now to ensure your spot!
