Seeing Through the Bramble of Internal OD Work

OD practitioners wear a lot of hats. In this episode, Bob’nJoyce sort through these many hats using the Global OD Model developed by ODN. This model defines the discipline of organizational development and assesses areas for professional development.

We discussed:
• The multi-faceted work of an OD professional working inside a company and the richness of the work as well as the complexity of the many hats worn when working inside.
• The work we have done that fits under each segment of the Global OD Model to show the benefit of having a model that provides grounding for both the OD leader and the company
• The benefit of the model to serve as a kind of “you are here” map that helps both the practitioner and the company to understand the work and give context.
