April, 2018 President’s Message -- Isabella Johnston, April 2018

Data, we love analytics -- qualitative, quantitative, and understanding how people learn. I started thinking about how we gather together at the GOOD Network to understand the who, why, and how we measure results in our profession.  It made me curious as to how many statistics we have kept about our organization and membership. Thus, I went to the board and as a collective group I am sharing the results:

The GOOD Network started in 2003 with three people. Kristin Chase, Jerry Salsburg, and Wendy Grauer.  Every business starts with humble beginnings, and it is amazing to see how much we have grown. By the end of 2003, there were approximately 20 paid members.  

Number of members at conception & current membership to date:

  • April 1, 2018:  173 (64 corporate and 109 individual)

Membership highlights through the years:

  • August 2012:  93 (14 corporate and 79 individual)
  • November, 2013:  164 (39 corporate and 125 individual)
  • November 2014:  181 (37 corporate and 144 individual)
  • July 2015: 180
  • July 2017: 182

With my entrepreneur hat on, I really enjoyed reviewing the historical side of GOOD Network. As an OD consultant, I love there are gaps and now we get to improve our processes. The nonprofit management consulting side of me also appreciate the numbers and wanted to serve our members greater value. Collecting data is one of the most important aspects of our roles in OD. I thought I would encourage everyone to do an annual check on how you collect data at your respective organizations (corporate partners) and if individual consultants, how you help your clients collect data.  

I wanted to close with talent facts that we as consultants in HR and OD that might prove useful when sitting down at the table with our respective audience and clients. The info also makes for a cool infographic if you are so inclined to create and play. Hope you enjoy!
