The ROI of OD

With Malcolm Gabriel and Marlene Durrell

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

6:30 pm to 9:00 pm

(networking and light supper at 6:00 pm)

Organization Development is central to preparing organizations for the age of fundamental change in industry and business complexity. Yet OD competes with other internal functions and external services for share of voice and credibility at executive board meetings as a focus for enhancing organizational effectiveness.

With the focus on the bottom line that we see in organizations, demonstrating the ROI of OD interventions is becoming a necessary strategic lever for OD practitioners, both before, and after the OD initiative.

Return on Investment (ROI) has been largely ignored in the past due to the complexity involved in showing a return on the OD initiatives, however, over time there has been a significant research and academic focus placed on measuring intangibles, that is now creating more of a case for the ROI of OD.
