Chris Crosby
This training will be conducted live via Zoom. The zoom meeting details will be sent out 24hr prior to the training.
As a young Organization Development professional, Chris Crosby worked with a research and design group that was struggling to complete projects that launch new products. The business unit was at risk of losing market share.
Chris had just learned a project planning process created by Robert P Crosby and used it to help them successfully deliver six projects (up from zero the previous year). To this day the VP of Research and Design claims the process was “the” reason they were successful.
Come join PNODN board of directors, members, volunteers, and other practitioners, students, leaders, and managers as Chris Crosby leads us through the very process he used to turn around those failing projects.
We will learn the process as we apply it to what needs to be done to meet PNODN’s goals toward building a thriving community of practitioners and other leaders who understand, value, and use OD in their work.
This process is best used for major cross functional projects and initiatives. It integrates the socio-technical components of projects and has been used in countless organizations often leading to unheard-of business results and huge increases in morale. Socio-technical components include how to:
1) link people together who work in different departments, cities, or countries and 2) gain clarity of task components, decision making, and sponsorship as defined in Chris’ book, Strategic Organizational Alignment.
1) link people together who work in different departments, cities, or countries and
2) gain clarity of task components, decision making, and sponsorship as defined in Chris’ book, Strategic Organizational Alignment.
Project timelines are often created with little interaction with the people who will complete the tasks. During this process we will create a timeline with all involved in the change.
During this three-part series participants will learn:
A step-by-step process to organize, analyze, plan, and align any project or initiative. How to recognize and integrate the Macro elements and socio-technical components needed to ensure project success. How to facilitate conversations for task sequencing clarity to expose and resolve cross-functional issues.
Each participant will also receive "Chapter 5 - Major Project or Initiative" and accompanying appendices from Chris’ book Strategic Engagement Volume II which outline and explain the process.

FACT: 62% of employees are burned out on the job AND disengaged employees cost companies an estimated $550 billion a year*.
OD Consultants are critical in helping larger organizations become healthier and more efficient.
The Challenge: Corporate decision-makers don’t know how you (the OD Consultant) can help them. Additionally, most OD professionals are trained in how to help organizations rather than how to market.
The workshop "How OD Professionals Can Attract Corporate Clients" is created to help bridge this gap. Participants will gain 5 concrete take-aways that they can implement immediately. This program will show your members how to:
Fill Your Pipeline with Highly-Qualified Leads (even if you don’t know where to start) Find and Engage Corporate Decision-Makers Who Are Looking to Buy What you Offer Stop Trading Time for Money and Release Low-Budget Pricing Patterns for Good Easily Move Connections into Paying Clients, So You Never Feel “Sales-y” or Pushy How to release hidden money blocks so you can comfortably talk about money and confidently raise your prices.

Special ODN Lifetime Achievement Award Presenter Gervase Bushe
Live via zoom meeting.
In this session Gervase will describe the Generative Change Model that has emerged from the research he and Bob Marshak have done into what makes contemporary OD methods succeed or fail. Generative Change provides a way of thinking about how we use large group intervention methods that makes them more likely to be transformational. Compared to the standard Planned Change Model, the Generative Change model is a better fit for today’s organizations that require greater agility and engagement. His new book (The Dynamics of Generative Change: BMI Publishing, 2020) describes how a low-tech warehouse and distribution operation transformed into a highly engaged, collaborative, agile and fully digitized one in a little more than two years after the first phone call between the consultant and the Director. They accomplished this without a vision, without a plan, without training, any resistance to change, and only 1 external OD consultant. They did it through an emergent, generative change process.
About Your Presenter
Gervase R. Bushe has been an OD consultant and researcher for over 40 years. He completed a Ph.D. at Case Western Reserve in 1983 and has published over 100 articles, chapters and books. His 2015 book Dialogic Organization Development (co-edited with Bob Marshak) has had a global impact on scholars and practitioners. In 2016 he was added to HR Magazine’s list of the 30 most influential thinkers in people strategy, and each year since. A chapter on his life and work appears in the Palgrave Handbook of Organizational Change Thinkers. Gervase is the Professor of Leadership and Organization Development at the Beedie School of Business, Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver, Canada.

Trust Repair Strategies
Wendy Fraser
This session is online via Zoom Meeting
Trust permeates relationships. When there is trust within groups, information flows and issues can be resolved easier. However, working effectively as a team is incredibly challenging when groups experience a lack of trust. If left unaddressed it can seriously disrupt relationships and work systems. When this happens, the question arises:
Is it possible to repair trust?
Based on experience and research, the answer is yes! This session shares specific trust behaviors that can be used as a diagnostic instrument and a repair model that draws upon facets of OD. We will engage as a community of practitioners and explore repairing trust at the individual, interpersonal, group and organizational levels. Considering the pain the country is experience with racial injustice, this body of work can provide a strategy for healing.
Dr. Wendy Fraser mentors the collective wisdom in organizations by engaging the talents and hearts of people. She fosters and builds capacity by strengthening relationships and systems so groups and organizations thrive. Wendy has a PhD and three master’s degrees and creatively blends that to design fresh approaches, grounded in research, with a flare of humor that gets results for clients all over the world. She is the author of Trust Repair: It IS Possible and cares deeply about helping people work better together. Wendy is a learner, consultant, mentor, volunteer, author, coach, and international humanitarian.

Lean Six Sigma meets Organization Development –
The Rise of Systemic Coaching & Consulting
Bill Braswell
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.
Bill Braswell has more than 30 years of progressively responsible experience in complex roles requiring exceptional project coordination and problem solving skills. He has worked with companies from a wide range of industries including IT, specialty chemical, non profit, manufacturing, insurance, higher education and healthcare in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
