Lean Six Sigma meets Organization Development –
The Rise of Systemic Coaching & Consulting
Bill Braswell
This session is online via Zoom Meeting
Bill will share his professional journey that led him to adopt these two important disciplines to help him address the social and technical aspects of organizational performance improvement. Bill will share his insights on the differences and similarities of Lean Six Sigma and Organization Development and give examples of how he has integrated Lean Six Sigma and Organization Development in his consulting and coaching practice.
The integration of LSS and OD has led to the emergence of a different way of thinking about coaching and consulting. He will introduce the concept of systemic coaching and consulting as a new way to think about a future approach to delivering value to organizations in our roles of coaches and consultants. How might a systemic approach disrupt our current thinking and practice? What might be required of coaches and consultants in the future? How might this impact our continuing education? These and many other questions abound when we explore the implications of Systemic Coaching and Consulting.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
Bill Braswell has more than 30 years of progressively responsible experience in complex roles requiring exceptional project coordination and problem solving skills.

Richard Lee
Program Description:
Work That Counts provides a framework for cross-functional success, including the skills to increase impact working in and across teams in complex organizations. Based on working with many of the world’s best innovation companies, with a behind-the-scenes vantage point, three interdependent mindsets or levers emerged. If any one of the three is weak, it will disproportionately diminish impact. If all are strong and in sync, they will drive inordinately greater impact, results and innovation.
First, people need the fuel to take action and drive decisions. This is based on fine-tuning the empowered relationship between the team leader and team member. We offer key skills that the team leader and team member each utilize to build the level of trust required in any dynamic relationship.
Second, people need to individually and collectively align to do the right thing, for their broader team. Even with the best executive vision, strategy and goals, all professionals and managers need to make wiser decisions on direction and alignment, on a day-to-day basis.
Third, people need to collaborate in and across teams to achieve goals. It’s challenging enough to partner well within a team, and that much more across teams. Without it, people will alienate others, and at a minimum, not take advantage of the power of the team.
All three mindsets and respective skills are required to make your work truly count, enabling people to do the best work of their lives. All participants will receive the hard-cover book, Work That Counts – Breaking Down the Barriers to Extraordinary Results.
Three Learning Outcomes:

Special ODN Lifetime Achievement Award Presenter Frances Baldwin
Live via zoom meeting.
My interest in an effectual definition of the word presence, especially, as it relates to the practice of organization development is only heightened as we navigate an environment in which both the speed of change and the changing nature of change itself, challenges our ability to add real value. If “presence” and the use of self are our most reliable tools, what are the implications/needs/methods for mastery of these commonly referenced yet somewhat indistinct phenomena?
Gestalt practices define presence as “the living embodiment of knowledge.” This implies that the, theories and practices essential to change are manifested in the behavior of the consultant. Whatever our intention or purpose, professional or social, in the experience of others we are content and process in action.
Objectives: Share and examine in conversation, perspectives on presence

Chris Crosby
Effective goals are clear, simple, numeric, and measurable. The ability to set simple numeric measurements is a critical step in organization alignment. Yet a remarkable amount of leaders and consultants are unaware of the distinction between actions, values, beliefs, standards, and goals.
This understanding is also a key to creating a fully engaged workplace. If you articulate clear goals and give your employees the means to figure out how to achieve them, then you can dramatically increase workplace engagement. However, if you hand down projects or initiatives instead of goals, then your employees will only work on implementing them and think less broadly about the whole organization.
In this intensive interactive session we will explore this critical dimension of leadership and help you unlock your ability to identify fuzzy goals and transform them so you can achieve goal clarity.
At the end of this session participants will learn:
Participants should bring a mission critical initiative or project or have one they can reflect on from their past.

Faith Addicott
This meeting is for people in the network (and their friends!) to learn more about how Appreciative Inquiry can be used to frame conversations and actions around JEDI.
At this point in our collective journey, it is simply not enough to set goals around moving away from white supremacy and the patriarchal systems that have allowed inequity to thrive. We must have something to move TO, a clear vision of what is possible, and the capacity to see ourselves as agents capable of moving to that best possible future. AI helps us get there.
In this event, I would like to introduce this frame, and then have some experiential conversations about justice and equity using AI. Breakout into pairs to interview and explore in the AI frame, come back and have a rich dialogue about that experience, and brainstorm ways for this lens to be used in current projects or ongoing work around JEDI.
At the end of this session participants will gain:
Faith Addicott is a graduate of the Master of Public Administration program at The Evergreen State College, where she focused her studies on organizational development, design thinking, systems thinking, and participatory leadership practices. She also holds a second Masters degree in Positive Organizational Development from Case Western Reserve University, Weatherhead School of Management.
Faith has a robust understanding of the systems which define our world and the work we try to do. Inspired by the work of David Cooperrider, Peter Senge, Otto Scharmer, Peter Block, Margaret Wheatley and Randoph T. Hester, whose enlightened visions of systems change, design, and community engagement transformed her experience, Faith is looking to help heal broken communities. Her passion for transformation and the importance of truth telling have run headlong into institutionalized processes and motivated her to begin consulting.
Faith is trained in Appreciative Inquiry, Restorative Justice, Holacracy, design thinking, systems thinking, the Art of Hosting, Intentional Change Theory, Resonant Leadership, and Organizational Diversity practices. She also holds a certificate in Emotionally Intelligent Leadership and Executive Coaching.
