Dialogue on the Future of OD and the Smart Machine Age

Presenter: Dr. Gary Mangiofico

Anytime we meet as an OD tribe there is opportunity to strengthen our community and live into our intentions of supporting the human side of enterprise.  The 4th Industrial revolution is upon us!   Who better than the “collective us” to envision and create the Future of OD in light of this new socio-tech revolution? In this session, Dr. Gary Mangiofico will lead an exploration of the intersection of OD, Humanity and the Smart Machine Age!  As Chair of the global OD Network he will also share the state of the global OD Network, the upcoming 2020 OD Network Conference – Agility & Resilience: Navigating Complexity and Transformation, and the new OD Network Social Impact Day.  

Join us for this informative and engaging session with an OD thought leader!
