Communities of Practice

A very important and exciting added value of being a member of the GOOD Network is our Communities of Practice (COP) program.  CoPs are interest groups organized and led by members of the Network.  Any member can propose a new CoP and our Community and Special Program Directors help them get started.

COPs bring together members of the organization who have a shared common focal interest under the larger umbrella of Organizational Development.  We share best practices, learn from each other, network, and engage in dialogue to enhance OD effectiveness and promote organizational excellence.  Currently, these active Communities of Practice are meeting regularly in 2022:

• Coaching – members who use Coaching to help organizations and individuals,
• External Consulting – members who work for/ consult with many organizations,
• Internal Consulting – members who work internally within an organization,
• Leadership Development - members who engage in leadership development activities,
• Learning & Development – members involved in learning and development,
• Mentoring -- members who are willing to serve as mentors are matched with members/proteges,
• Technology – focused on how we can use technology in our field.
