►►► Hybrid OD: The Emerging Future of Organization Development → http://henosispartners.com/hybridod

In this episode, we discuss AGILE OD and how the integration of the Agile/Iterative method with organization development methods, tools, and techniques is revolutionizing the practice of OD
We are living in a time of great disruption and change where the world is pulsing faster than ever before. As such, to respond to such disruption, to keep up with such change organizations need a change management approach that is “suited for the times” – use of the Agile/Iterative Method is such method. Agile OD reflects an integration of the Agile/ Iterative Method and Organization Development. Together, Agile and OD result in significant benefits for an organization from accelerating organizational learning to igniting a (dormant) innovation engine internally, to creating an army of highly skilled problem solvers able to solve complex adaptive challenges. Bottom line: for an organization to be slow-changing, slow-adopting in a context of rapid, disruptive change represents a one-way ticket to oblivion. Integrating Agile with Organization Development addresses this challenge ‘head-on’ by positioning a company to not only SUR-VIVE in our VUCA-like world, but more positions an organization to THRIVE.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 What is the Agile/Iterative Method and why the integration of Agile with OD matters today
 How you can integrate the Agile/Iterative Method into your existing workflow
 What are the benefits of integrating the Agile/Iterative Method with OD
 How to properly govern Agile OD (‘experimental’) work
