The Organization Development Institute is a non-profit educational association organized in 1968 to promote an understanding of the field of Organization Development. Every year we publish The International Registry of O.D. Professionals and O.D. Handbook, and we meet at least twice a year both inside and outside the USA to keep our members and the public informed on recent developments in O.D.
