Advancing OD Doctoral Education Through Publishing

In December I completed a nine-month project that resulted in a special section of the Organization Development Review featuring a group of seven articles authored by individuals who are currently pursuing a Doctorate degree in Organization Development. The articles are presented as a special collection that highlights the role the OD Review plays in nurturing the next generation of broadminded, discipline-spanning OD scholar practitioners.

I’m proud to share that I have received a personal invitation to attend the prestigious Sumantra Ghoshal Conference on Managerially Relevant Research at the London Business School. The invitation was based upon a solo-authored paper submission entitled Turning the Tables on Bad Management Theories and Good Management Practices. This invitation-only conference is an opportunity for attendees from all over the world to present and exchange ideas on research that not only meets the highest standards of academic rigor but also rich in insights for practitioners, managers, consultants and policy makers.
Update: Sadly, this conference has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak
