Webinars

ODC is actively working toward sharing contemporary and relevant knowledge in the field of Organization Design. The webinar series is one of the mediums for this.

We have designed a policy for webinars that aims to balance the twin goals of disseminating organization design knowledge at large as well as providing unique value for members.

Webinar topics relate to Organization Design, broadly defined. Presenters are a mix of ODC members and non-members who bring specialized expertise.

ODC members have first priority in registering for webinars that have size restrictions (e.g. because of hands on components).Approximately a week before the webinar, the remaining available seats will be opened to non-members.

All webinars are archived on the ODC website.

To get full access to the recordings, one must be an ODC member.

If you would like to propose a webinar, please email us at ordesigncomm@gmail.com for the schedule and technical details.
