HERE IS AN OVERVIEW OF OUR BEST PRACTICES PRESENTATIONS:

Topic: Performance and Measurement Frameworks for OD Initiatives by Tim Brock

This presentation will introduce three results-focused and measurement-driven frameworks used globally by businesses, governments, and international agencies such as USAID, the World Bank, and the United Nations that produce the data executives want but are not getting. These frameworks will provide a scalable foundation you can use to integrate proven accountability, transparency, and value-added measurements and ROI/bottom-line impact measures into your everyday OD initiates to prove the business alignment and value of your proposals, projects, and programs.

Topic: Drawing on the Science of Quality and Error in OD by Carol Anderson and Gary Owens

Most organizations do not face life and death situations, but may be able to learn from those organizations, like healthcare and the military, that do. The concepts of understanding error, whether human or system, can be integrated as tools in the OD toolkit. We will present background on the science of error and quality in improving performance and explain how this can be helpful to OD Consultants.

Topic: On-boarding and Culture Building at Nemours by Rick Kennedy

Nemours Children’s Hospital, located in Medical City Orlando, opened in October, 2012.

Rick will share successes and some missteps in this effort.
