Roffey Park is a charitable research and education institute delivering high impact learning in leadership development, management development, change and resilience, organisational learning, organisational development, and HR. 

Roffey Park’s Director of Operations Dr Graham Curtis will lead us in an exploration of the origins of OD, what OD is, and how we can talk to organisations about the value OD can bring. We will explore these questions together and support each other to make sense of what we do in our work and begin to demystify OD together. 

Book now to join us for this unique opportunity to explore and reflect on OD.
