Join a new format for an ODF Community Conversation
DESIGN DILEMMAS
September 27 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM (EDT)

Total Commitment to Design Outcomes from Day One… and then It Happened!

ODF’s Community Engagement & Learning Team is pleased to launch a new series we’re calling “Design Dilemmas.” Each Design Dilemma session will feature a community member sharing an organization design challenge they have and getting perspectives from others in the call.  The conversations will be facilitated by a organization design expert.  

Sessions are designed to be interactive and focused on learning, whether you are new to the work or wrote the book on it!
