Our General Session and alumni speakers are experienced organization development leaders, strategists, practitioners and pioneers. During the conference you will get a solid grounding in tried-and-true OD fundamentals and unique insight into new practices that may change the way you do business.

 #3 – Learn new skills

No matter how long you've been in OD or what position you hold at your company, chances are there is still something you need to learn. Trends, new strategies, and innovations in our field happen all the time; to stay up-to-date you need an educational opportunity that provides you with the full range of OD knowledge.

 #5 – Have fun as you connect with both old and new alumni

While learning at the MSOD Annual Conference, you’ll also have opportunities to relax and get to know your alumni peers. When you meet with your peers, you have an opportunity to collaborate, hear new ideas, and validate or change your perspectives. You may hear what others are doing and be inspired to implement something similar - or you might find a mentor or even become one.
