Professional Development Network

Chicago OD Practitioners PDN

A professional development network for practitioners exploring organizational development, internal consulting, human resources, and talent development topics in a collaborative and thoughtful community setting.

About This PDN

The OD Practitioners Network is a professional development network that meets monthly in downtown Chicago to explore topics related to internal consulting across the fields of Organizational Development, Human Resources, and Training & Development.

Learning from one another’s experience, exploring new perspectives, and sharing useful resources are central to the group’s purpose. The network welcomes both internal and external (independent) consultants.

This is a forum free of direct marketing appeals or overt networking from those in job transition. Come be part of the conversation.
