BCODN Senior OD Series
The Leadership Lunch:
A Peer Conversation for Senior OD
An intimate, peer-only gathering for senior OD professionals — designed for the kind of candid, unhurried exchange that rarely happens at larger events.
About this gathering
This is more than a networking event — it's a space to reconnect with purpose, reflect honestly on the challenges facing our field, and engage in real dialogue with people walking similar paths.
Senior OD professionals rarely get a room where they can speak plainly about the hard stuff: where OD is falling short, what actually works with executive teams, and what the field needs to become. This lunch creates that room.
Conversations are guided but informal — structured enough to go somewhere, open enough to follow the energy in the room. Spots are intentionally limited to keep the exchange meaningful.
Questions we'll explore together
1
How do you translate the intangible work of OD into results that leaders recognize and value?
2
What has actually worked when it comes to influencing executive teams or shaping organizational direction?
3
Where are the most significant gaps between OD theory and practice right now — and what would it take to close them?
4
What does making OD visible look like in your organization — and where does it still stay invisible?
What to expect
Peer-level conversation
Everyone in the room has navigated the systemic and strategic end of OD. No introductory framing required.
Intentionally small
Limited spots, curated for depth. This is quality over quantity by design.
Shaped by the room
Conversations are guided but not scripted — the direction follows what's most alive for the people present.
Lunch included
Lunch, coffee and tea, and gratuity are all covered by your ticket. Just show up.
Who this is for
This gathering is designed exclusively for OD professionals with 10 or more years of experience in the field — consultants, practitioners, and leaders who have been doing this long enough to have real questions about where OD is headed and what it means in practice.
Not sure if this is right for you? If you're navigating the strategic, systemic, and sometimes political dimensions of OD work and you're looking for peers who get it — this is a conversation for you.
