Given the stay-at-home orders due to Covid-19 last year and the proposition that more workers will continue to work from home, how do we now assess an organization? This panel represents organizational development experts that deal with the range of organizations from small to large, both as inside and external consultants. We’ll discuss how assessments are chosen, modified and delivered with the inside tips on how to do assessment in a time of extraordinary change.
Join us on Thursday evening, May 20, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM PST for this informative panel and networking opportunities. RSVP through MeetUp to save your spot for this event!
