Accidental OD Inspiration

  • Regan Miller and Larry McManus overheard many people at a conference say they were accidentally doing OD work.
  • This inspired them to write "The Accidental OD Practitioner", followed by "The Intentional OD Practitioner".
INSIGHT

Accidental vs. Intentional

  • Intentional practitioners actively develop their OD mindset and skills, focusing on self-awareness and intervention strategies.
ADVICE

Broaden Your Perspective

  • Look beyond single areas of expertise to achieve more impactful change if you want to transition into OD.
  • Embrace a broader perspective and consider how different systems interact within an organization.
