In the CODP program we endorse individual organization design professionals that meet our global set of requirements for certification. 

The Certification program for Organization Design Professionals is developed and managed jointly by the Organizational Design Community (ODC), Organization Design Forum (ODF), and the European Organisation Design Forum (EODF).

Criteria for certification:

As an organization design professional, you can become certified if you meet a set of criteria divided into education and practice - both criteria are estimated based on your achievements through the past two years.

Education is evaluated based on a set amount of units that must be gathered through organization design courses, conferences and the like. 

Practice is evaluated based on a set amount hours (25 % of the average work week) that the applicant must have been either 1) teaching organization design relevant subjects, or 2) consulting on/executing organization design projects. 

Applications will be evaluated by a review committee consisting of leading academics and practitioners, representing the three partner organizations: 

• Thomas Döring, Partner, The HPO Global Alliance (representing EODF).
• Michael Gold, Principal, Gold Standard Consulting (representing ODF).
  
• Børge Obel, Professor - ICOA, Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University. (representing ODC).
• Charles Snow, Professor Emeritus - Penn State Smeal College of Business (Representing ODC).
