ODF is focused on being the connectors to encourage knowledge exchanges that support the theory and practice of organization design. Over ODF’s 25+ years, conferences, webinars, e-learning courses, and workshops (in-house customized and public) have connected members to the field of organization design.

  1. Be in service to the 4 quadrants of ODF’s Guiding Principle . . . the ‘Maypole’ in service to supporting member and organizational capacity building in relation to each of the four quadrants, which in itself contributes to a community of practitioners “practicing”
  2. Thread themes and services between conferences with the potential to enhance learning throughout the year by becoming part of the conference content in highly meaningful and relevant ways for members
  3. Offer engagement opportunities for the spectrum of ODF community members, provide ways to give and to receive support from each other as professional resources for on-going learning and development

  • Applications – focused on how to apply principles and concepts of organization design, including organization design processes, case examples, tools, techniques, practices and methodologies,
  • Engagement –  focused on ways to involve and engage people (e.g., clients, colleagues) in any stage of organization design, including, for example, large group meeting design approaches and ideation
  • Principles – focused on organization design theory, concepts, principles, history and/or  thought leadership that helps to define the depth and scope of the field
