Organization Development Network of New York

We had so much fun with Pecha Kucha last season that we're bringing the presentation format back for an evening of learning and discusson on Sustainability in Organization Development.

Sustainable management is about operating in ways that restore and enhance all forms of capital (human, natural, manufactured and financial) to generate stakeholder value and contribute to the well-being of current and future generations. Join us Jan. 19 as ODNNY members share examples, tools and techniques of organizations that are addressing the “triple bottom line” of people, planet and profits.

Here's the lineup:

• Open Networking Organizations: Creating Sustainable Enterprises, by Jenny Ambrozek.
• Challenges to Achieving Sustainable Operations: Case Study of an Environmental NGO, by Daniel Doucette.
• Women: Images of Hope and Possibility, by Robyn Stratton- Berkessel & Susanne Mueller.
• You May Already Have Compelling Experience to Help "Green" Organizations, by Victorial Zelin.

Here’s how Pecha Kucha (pronounced pe-chak-cha, and also known as 20x20) works: a presenter accompanies his or her talk by showing 20 images for 20 seconds apiece, for a total time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds.  Slides illustrate the topic - this is NOT your father's Powerpoint.

We'll have four or five presentations. (The roster of presenters/topics will be announced shortly.) Following the presentations, the audience will be invited to join their favorite presenters for 40 minutes of small group discussion.  The evening will end with report-outs from each table and a short Q&A session.

Last year’s Pecha Kucha event drew a large crowd as members of ODNNY and other professional networks engaged in deep conversation.  And it was fun! 

We think this year’s focus on Sustainability will be equally interesting, provocative and fun. We hope to see you there.
