ONE Colleagues:
For my doctoral dissertation research, I am studying the role internal OD practitioners play in organizations that have adopted an approach to sustainability, including mission, strategy, initiative, and / or program. I am interested in the views of both internal OD practitioners who are participating in changes for sustainability and internal OD practitioners employed by an organization making such changes but who are not involved in those changes. No organization will be involved in this study nor will the organization be identified in the study's documents. Research participants will not be identified in any way in the study.
I would appreciate your help to identify research participants. Please know that whoever you nominate will not know that you nominated them, nor will they know your identity. Further, if your nominee is invited, I will not let him/her know that they were nominated or by whom.
Participants must meet certain criteria to participate in the study. If potential participants meet the criteria and are selected for the study, their total time involvement will consist of a 60-90 minute interview and another 30 minutes to review the transcript of the interview. If you would like to know more about the research, please either
