What challenges will OD face in the year 2009?

Our November 18 program meeting was on “Six Challenges for OD Practitioners”. We had small group sessions and report to the whole group on “Defining and Explaining OD,” “External vs. Internal,” “Globalization and Virtual Worlds,” “Measuring OD Interventions,” “OD and Creativity,” and “OD as a Career Field”.

For the Question of the Month, we taken a focused view of the program theme and are asking members to provide their thoughts on what challenges OD will face in the next year – as well as ways that OD practitioners can meet those challenges. Of course discussion on the six specific areas covered is also welcome.
