Date:  Saturday, April 17, 2010

Time:  9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern

Location:  Atlanta Community Food Bank

When any type of change initiatives stalls or fails, it risks being viewed as a fad that didn’t live up to the hype. Even worse, stalled or failed change efforts can become distractions that result in reduced levels of performance, customer service, and/or organizational effectiveness.

In this interactive session, OCA member Aaron Fausz will lead participants in working their way through a process to recover from a stalled/failed change initiative. The output will be a series of questions to ask and actions to take to revive a stalled/failed change initiative.

Details:

Given everything going on in the economy, the way businesses are being forced to adjust, the changing nature of work, and the need for new and innovative strategies, we are asking ourselves:- How is the field of Organization Development changing in the next decade to respond to and support upcoming needs in organizations?- What organizational issues will OD professionals be required to address?

• How will we help organizations find their way and navigate the changing landscape?
• What will we need to do differently to assist organizations in not only surviving, but succeeding and thriving in this new uncertain environment?
• Therefore, what do you need and want from OCA (your professional association and learning community)?

Join us for a lively discussion with our featured speaker and other OD experts, as we share perspectives about the future.

We encourage you to ponder these questions and post your thoughts in the comments below for the rest of our community to see and comment.

To stimulate your thinking, here are three articles you can read for some additional perspective. Dr. Marshak presented to OCA in July 2007.
