Make plans now to join the leaders in organization design at the annual ODF Conference in May, 2010 in beautiful downtown Denver.

As organizations begin to rebound from the recent downturn in the economy, organization designers will likely find themselves in a unique situation to assist with renewal and growth. Whether building new or revising old, organization design is a discipline and skill set that is needed now more than ever. This conference will provide the forum for skilled practitioners, academicians and business leaders to learn, discuss, debate and practice the next generation of organization design methodologies.

Our line-up of Plenary Speakers includes Ed Schein, MIT Sloan School of Management; Bill Pasmore, Center for Creative Leadership; Niko Canner, Booz & Company; and Allan Bradshaw, Weyerhaeuser Company.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear and learn from these terrific speakers! There will also be concurrent sessions and pre-conference workshops to choose from, which will be announced soon. We will keep you informed as more information becomes available regarding conference details and registration.
