What separates a one-time workshop from an intervention that actually changes the way people work together?
In this episode of Unboxing OD, we explore what it really takes to design effective Organizational Development interventions - those that align with strategy, honor the human experience, and create lasting movement in the system.
Kenneth Pearson walks through how to ground interventions in real organizational goals, shares listener and colleague inspired stories from leadership and team-building engagements, and calls out the common traps that even experienced OD professionals can fall into. From overcomplicating the design to skipping diagnosis, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and field-tested insights.
We also dive into the value of integrating feedback loops - not as an afterthought, but as an essential part of how OD work breathes, grows, and evolves.
Whether you’re designing your first intervention or refining your approach to systems-level change, this episode is here to support your journey.
