Partnering Together to Improve Prosperity and the Well-Being of Society

We are facing a serious challenge in maintaining the well-being of our society. Leaders in the OD profession recognize this, and it has influenced the theme of the 2023 international OD Summit which is; “We believe building a better world is the present and future of OD.”

OD professionals have traditionally focused on helping organizations prosper. However, it is now widely recognized that for organizations to prosper, we also have to maintain a prosperous society. OD professionals are challenged on “How” to concurrently help their organizations prosper and contribute to building a better society.

The Organizational Learning Center (OLC) based in Silicon Valley recognizes that many OD professionals and organizational leaders have resources that could be made available to others to help them improve organizational prosperity and the well-being of society. This site provides the opportunity for those who have such resources and are willing to make them available to others to have them included on this site. As a first step in the process OLC has provided 5 resources in the OLC OD Resources subtab. One tab is a case study of an improvement initiative that can be undertaken in any organization. The other 4 resources provide a systematic approach for developing a high-performance partnership organization. Details on these resources are provided under the OLC OD Resources subtab. In addition, this website has a "How" tab which provides a network of PowerPoint presentations used in the partnership organization development case example.
