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.

In 2020, when COVID struck, Alder Hey’s response to the pandemic and to the support offered to staff had been shaped by events of 2018 and a case involving a young boy with an incurable neurogenerative condition.

Steven Weeks, policy manager at NHS Employers, spoke to staff about the new approach the Trust adopted following the case and how it helped support staff during the pandemic.

In this episode we hear from Mee-Yan Cheung Judge and Linda Holbeche, friends of Do OD and authors of our favourite handbook: Organisation Development. On the release of the third edition, Mee-Yan and Linda join us to talk about the big changes happening in the world of work. With changing technology and widening inequality, how can we create work that amplifies the best of humanity? They talk about power, politics and the courage needed to make a difference when the scale and intensity of change continues to increase.
