Description

What exactly does an Organizational Development (OD) practitioner do? You’ve seen them in action—or maybe just heard about them—but their role often feels elusive. In this episode of Unboxing OD, Kenneth Pearson demystifies the role of the OD practitioner, peeling back the layers to reveal how these professionals guide organizations toward long-term success.

Join us as we explore:

• The day-to-day work of an OD practitioner, from diagnosing challenges to shaping culture.
• The essential skills that make OD practitioners effective, including facilitation, active listening, and strategic thinking.
• Why their work often feels “invisible” but is critical to driving meaningful change.
• Common misconceptions about OD practitioners and what they really bring to the table.

Whether you’re an aspiring OD professional, a leader working with one, or just curious about the field, this episode offers valuable insights into a career that’s equal parts art and science. Tune in and uncover the transformative impact of Organizational Development.
