Join an ODF Community Conversation
October 13 | 12 – 1:30 PM (EDT)
OD + OD = OA
We are excited to host, Chris Worley, author, professor, and
a recognized leader in the fields of organization agility, organization development, and organization design
The Organization Design Forum is known for integrating traditions of performance captured by the principles of organization design (OD) with traditions of change captured by the principles of organization development (OD). When the two are fused, design and change become the same thing and organization agility (OA) emerges. Join us on October 13 to talk about how organization agility addresses the challenge of AI adoption.
The session will include 60 minutes of structured discussion, followed by an additional 30 minutes of open conversation for those who would like to stay on.
