The ODWS 2010 initiative is a truly global and unique joint effort of OD practitioners, management consultants, practicing leaders, founders of successful businesses, academics, and social workers to explore and promote new ways of co-operation and human resource development. This is going to be a very special occasion to share your thoughts, approaches, practices and stories with a unique mixture of professionals and clients, and get feedback or ideas from them.
