North East & North Cumbria OD Network

We’re refreshing the regional Organisational Development network for colleagues across the North East and North Cumbria, and we’re inviting anyone involved in OD, change, transformation or people‑focused improvement work to take part. This includes those with OD in their job title and those without — if you work with people, influence change or are curious about how to engage others in shaping their organisation, there’s a place for you here.

The network aims to provide a safe, supportive and barrier‑free peer space where colleagues can connect, build relationships and share the brilliant practice happening locally. It’s a space for those who may sometimes feel unsure, isolated, or “not senior or clever enough,” as well as those who want to grow their confidence, deepen their practice or simply learn with others. Our first session will be a chance to get to know one another, hear about some of the excellent OD work happening in our region, and understand the types of challenges and priorities colleagues are currently working with so we can design useful tools, learning and development opportunities together.
