As we enter into 2021 we are looking forward. For our February event, we will consider how the changing workplace and workforce can inform how we, as OD practitioners, work today.

We are excited to be joined by Helen Hovenga. Helen has held many senior roles in large, complex organisations, working with senior leadership to develop and deliver people strategy. As an OD pratitioner she uses her deep understanding of people and organisations to create an inspiring future by empowering and energising people.

During this session Helen will share her insights, and lead us in an interactive discussion around how OD can continue to add value to people and organsations. She will draw on the experience of the group to consider questions for our field:

What role does OD play in shaping the future of organisations?
How do we, as individuals and practitioners, adapt to remain relevant?
How do we support organisations and leaders to adapt?

Please join us for what is sure to be an insightful and informative discussion, that will contribute to our shared understanding of OD and its role in the future of work.
