For our final episode we are joined by Naomi Stanford, Organisation Design author & consultant who brings a wealth of experience in both organisation development, and organisation design which she has written at length on. Naomi talks about the impact of hybrid working and how we can hold space to explore the fundamental question of what work is and how we can reconsider what is important using design principles to shape our workplaces.

Vilma Nikolaidou the Associate Director of HR from University of the Arts London joins us for our fourth episode. Vilma shares her experience of doing OD in the higher education sector in a time of hybrid working, growing inequality and short term thinking. Vilma talks about how we can hold the tension between complexity and simplicity when we all have very little headspace, and how being in service of others is key to the future of OD in our ever changing workplaces.
