Have you ever considered how emerging leaders from other countries engage in knowledge transfer, capacity building and organization development? Moreover, how does an agency in San Diego help these leaders? What parallels can be drawn between their work and OD practices?
At SD OD Network, in addition to traditional modeling and OD Theory, the organization brings you innovative, leading-edge perspectives in the field of OD. This event starts the new year inviting you to share dialogue and explore a fascinating local agency. Discover how the unique partnership between the San Diego Diplomacy Council and the U.S. State Department applies many of OD practices. Their primary tool for influencing improvement and growth is face-to face dialogue. Learn how the staff at the San Diego Diplomacy Council yields success with their tools.
WHAT DOES THE SAN DIEGO DIPLOMACY COUNCIL DO?
It works to develop the handpicked emerging leaders coming to San Diego from around the world. These leaders work in the areas of banking, healthcare, biotech, tourism, energy, military, antiterrorism, education, human rights, rule of law and government.
Former participants in this program include Karzai of Afghanistan, Gordon of UK, Sarkozy of France, and 300 current and former heads of government including leaders of Turkey, Columbia, Kenya, and New Zealand.
THE RELATION TO OD
The work at San Diego Diplomacy Council (SDDC) and OD work is linked by shared values of improving systems and influencing the development of people.
