Join ODNNY's special forum to discuss both the opportunity to provide meaningful work in the nonprofit sector as well as how OD practice differs in the nonprofit sector compared to the private sector. Panelists will include influential thought leaders in Organization Development, nonprofit management, and academia.

New York City's nonprofit sector accounts for $43 billion in annual expenditures, more than 528,000 jobs, or 14% of New York City's employees, and an annual payroll of more than $22.7 billion. Although the nonprofit sector is an important economic and social powerhouse in New York City, it is still a relatively new industry with close to 40% of nonprofits starting up in the mid 1990s and 70% with budgets under $1 million. Many of the challenges they face, such as staff recruitment and retention, might provide OD practitioners with meaningful opportunities to help cause-related organizations and support a growing sector.

Moderated by Miguel Bonilla, Director, Strengthening New York City Nonprofits, United Way of New York City

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

The NTL Institute for Applied Behavioral Science (NTL) is hosting a "Conference on the New OD" stimulated by the recent writings of Bob Marshak with some of his colleagues. These writings assert that there have been enough substantive new developments in the underlying premises and practices in the field of OD over the past 25 years to suggest that different forms of OD have evolved and should be recognized in the literature and teachings in the field.

The conference will take place at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Maryland, from the evening of March 18th through noon of March 21st, 2010. Information about registration can be found on the web at www.ntl.org.

The new change management is change optimization, according to consultant Dave Guerra. Change can be measured, and its existence
established. The actual pattern of system change in a social system is the pattern of a critical phase transition. This is the first in a series of webinars presented by ODNNY and the South Bay OD Network.

Date & Time: March 26, 1pm to 2pm
Cost: $20

Register now for this exciting webinar.

It is the same pattern that we see when water turns to ice.  The same molecules are transformed into new state. It is part of the same universal underlying pattern of critical phase transition we see in technological revolutions, as with Apple's iPhone, for example. This is second order change at the system level. It is distinguishable from problem solving. This is the change sought after by organizations and change facilitators themselves.

There is a shift from extrinsically to intrinsically motivated change. It is inside out -- not outside-in -- that works. Self-motivated and
self-managed. Hence, the practice of change management should evolve into the practice of change optimization. This explains why servant
leadership is the leadership of Superperformance. When we are self-motivated we are different people. What is required by the practice
itself is a revolution in thinking - to appreciate and investigate more deeply the organism model, its success patterns, and its implications.
