BCODN Leadership Lunch: A Peer Conversation for Senior OD (30 May 2026)

Sat, 30 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

BCODN Senior OD Series

Is Organizational Development
losing its strategic influence?

A peer-only conversation for senior OD practitioners on where the profession stands today — and the role BCODN can play in shaping where it goes from here.

About this gathering

Twenty years ago, OD sat at the strategy table with executives. Today, that seat looks less secure — and the work organizations need most is exactly the work the profession was originally built for.

For a long stretch, Organizational Development was treated as a trusted strategic partner — shaping strategy, leadership effectiveness, culture, structure, and long-horizon organizational capability alongside executives. A lot of OD work today doesn't look like that. It has drifted toward the tactical: fragmented change projects, engagement initiatives, leadership programs, and culture interventions running parallel to the business rather than inside its strategic spine.

And it has happened at exactly the moment organizations are facing the kind of systemic challenges OD was originally designed to address — AI and digital transformation, workforce disruption, declining trust, economic uncertainty, the demand for real agility and innovation under real complexity. On May 30, we're convening a small group of senior OD practitioners over a working lunch in Vancouver to look squarely at where the profession stands, what it takes to stay credible at the executive level, and how BCODN can help shape what comes next here in BC.

Questions we'll explore together

Where do you see OD losing — or holding — its strategic influence in the work you're closest to right now?

What capabilities are you finding you need to stay credible with executives and boards — and what's no longer enough?

What role should OD be playing in helping organizations navigate AI, workforce disruption, and culture — and where is it being squeezed out?

What would it take for BCODN to help shape the future of OD in British Columbia — and where would you want to contribute?

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. Quality over quantity by design.

Shaped by the room

Guided but not scripted — the direction follows what's most alive for the practitioners present.

Lunch in Gastown

A restaurant in the heart of Gastown. One lunch dish, and gratuity.

Who this is for

This gathering is designed exclusively for OD professionals with 10 or more years of experience in the field — internal practitioners, external consultants, and OD-adjacent leaders working at the strategic and systemic level.

Not sure if this is right for you? If the question of where OD is heading — and what each of us can do to shape it — is live in your work right now, this is the room.

Senior OD Coffee Chat:
Before the Workday Takes Over

A monthly virtual gathering where senior OD professionals tackle the questions that don't get enough airtime anywhere else.

About this series

Some of the best thinking happens over coffee, before the workday takes over.

Each month, a small group of senior OD professionals gathers to dig into one pressing question facing the field. Topics are drawn from current research, real organizational challenges, and the things practitioners are quietly wrestling with — not the polished conference version, but what's actually happening on the ground.

Whether you're an independent consultant or an internal leader navigating complex change, the goal is the same: leave with at least one new perspective worth taking back to work.

How it works

Topic framing (5–7 min)

BCODN Leadership Lunch: A Peer Conversation for Senior OD (25 Jul 2026)

Sat, 25 Jul 2026 19:00:00 GMT

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

How do you translate the intangible work of OD into results that leaders recognize and value?

What has actually worked when it comes to influencing executive teams or shaping organizational direction?

Where are the most significant gaps between OD theory and practice right now — and what would it take to close them?

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.
