  Coffee Chat · Tuesday, November 17

  An hour with OD colleagues
  before the workday starts.

  Our monthly Coffee Chat is an hour on Zoom with OD practitioners from across BC. Bring what's on your desk: a question you're working on, something you're trying, or a situation where you'd like a few other perspectives.

  How it works

  01	Check-in A quick round of names, and what each person is working on.
  02	Small groups Breakouts of three or four, so everyone gets airtime.
  03	Whole room We bring back what came up and open the floor.

  No preparation needed beyond your coffee. Sessions aren't recorded, so you can speak freely.

  Who it's for

  Practitioners at every stage, whether you work inside an organization or independently: OD, change, L&D, HR and people-and-culture professionals, and anyone curious about how organizations grow.

  Leadership Lunch · Saturday, November 28

  Most culture work fades by spring.
  What actually moves the needle?

  Over lunch in Coquitlam, Sasha Yovanovich brings a senior operator's view of why so much leadership and culture work ends up in a drawer, and what makes the rest of it last. Expect stories from a career in operational leadership, not slides of studies.

  What we'll explore

  01	Why so much of it fades Assessments, offsites and engagement surveys that create a good week and then disappear, and what the work that lasts has in common.
  02	Leadership and culture as leading indicators How to make the case to executives who watch the numbers, and why the link to results is what earns their attention.
  03	S³, a scorecard in progress Sasha's Sustained Success Scorecard measures leadership, team experience and business results before and after an initiative. Bring your questions and your critique.

  It's a conversation, not a presentation: lunch, Sasha's talk, then discussion and networking. Come with one piece of leadership or culture work you've seen last, or fade.

  Who it's for

  Experienced practitioners and leaders in OD, HR, change and operations who carry organization development in their roles, whatever their title. Members and guests are welcome.
