About the OD SIG:
OD SIG gatherings are informal group discussions led by a senior-level OD practitioner. The discussion leader shares stories and insights about their experiences, their backgrounds, how they got started and advanced within the discipline. Discussions are highly interactive and attendees are encouraged to ask questions.
