Studies in OD – 4 Reports on Current Programs

During the winter of 2009, The Education Committee of the NJ Organization Development Learning Community conducted a survey of members inquiring into their interest in attending academic-based education in the field of Organization Development.  The response indicated a need for both an introductory level program to enter the field as well as advanced level programs to support on-going development and sharing.

To follow-up on the topic, additional research was conducted under a grant provided by Rutgers University Professional Development Studies of the School of Information and Communication Studies by Lucille Maddalena and Marian Titus-Smith during 2010.
