Transforming Business with OD
We're excited to announce the details of our opening conference plenary session: The High-Performance, Horizontal Model: What Is It — and What Can We Learn from Maersk's Transformation? by Howard M. Guttman and Ulf Hahnemann.
Howard M. Guttman Ulf Hahnemann
How do you go about radically transforming business fundamentals, everything from how people lead and make decisions to how they perform and manage conflict? And what roles do OD and HR play in the process? Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how one global organization, Maersk, is moving from a traditional vertical structure to horizontal, high-performance enterprise.
Howard M. Guttman, a renowned OD practitioner, author, and founder of Guttman Development Strategies, and Ulf Hahnemann, CHRO, Maersk, team up for a highly engaging and thought provoking look at the concept of horizontal, high-performance leadership, how one organization is moving from concept to reality, and the bumps encountered along way, including lessons learned for OD professionals.
Join us October 14-17 in Chicago for this and many more opportunities to learn from OD leaders.

Optimizing Operations
As your OD Network Board of Trustees formulated the Strategic Plan for 2017-2020, one area we all agreed on was the need to ensure the business side of the OD Network is solid. This led to the development of the Operational Excellence Outcomes as presented in the strategy, and we are working hard to make progress toward achieving those outcomes.
Two specific areas your Board of Trustees is currently and actively working are (1) making sure that our bylaws and the supporting procedures are up to date and support us in operating and governing the organization and (2) making decisions that are informed and grounded in data.
