St. Louis Organization Development Network

August 2010 ODN Meeting

HR and OD: Two Sides of the Same Coin

How can OD effectively partner with HR?


OD and HR professionals have more in common than they may realize. In this session, we will hear from Scott Mannis, a career “OD guy,” who has recently taken on the role of Chief HR Officer at Kellwood Company. Scott will discuss a model for how OD can effectively work with others in HR and the changing role of the HR Generalist to an OD Practitioner. Scott will talk about how he is attempting to bridge the gap, and then facilitate a discussion around the issues that he raises.
