Celebrating Organization Development (OD) – A World Café Event

Who should attend? You!

Calling our OD community of scholars, practitioners, clients, students and fellow travellers!

Join us November 5th at the Creekside Community Recreation Centre for #CelebrateOD, a World Café conversation to explore the question, “What are you celebrating about OD now and into the future?” The conversation will be emergent: What might we discover, dream and design together?

If you haven’t yet experienced the World Café format, this is your chance.

We will be sharing the conversation back with the community, and we imagine this conversation having a ripple effect after the event. Please share this invitation with those who inspire you.
