SUMMARY:August 9 D/FW OD Network Meeting:  Enhancing OD Through Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:org/August2018Meeting/  
 

   


Enhancing Organizational Development 
through Collaboration  

As you start your next OD project, what does SUCCESS look like?  How about a fully-assembled 300 piece “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego” puzzle?  Please join us as we have a spirited interactive discussion to see how a puzzle metaphor can aid us in designing a collaboration approach that is effective, efficient, and aligned with the goals of your organization. 
Why is this important?  It seems that most organizations today have a multi-faceted vision/mission, and each part of the organization contributes to every facet of the mission.  The vision is much like the picture on the outside of the puzzle box while the strategic objectives are like the puzzle pieces.  Differing views of the picture along with multiple teams handling each puzzle piece creates some big alignment challenges! 
In this meeting we will introduce a Team Collaboration model that fosters role clarity, accountability, and alignment of vision and objectives across the people, processes, and technologies to ensure a common language of collaboration.  Two insightful quotes: 
"The best teamwork comes from ... working independently toward one goal in unison."     James Cash (JC) Penney  
"Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success."     Henry Ford    
We look forward to seeing you on August 9 for this timely discussion!
