2002 Annual Conference

Conference Announcement and Call for Presenters

**************

The Organization Design Forum invites you to clear your calendar for April
27-30, 2002 and plan to attend our 2002 annual conference in Boulder,
Colorado.

Organizations today face a new set of forces that mandate a different
approach to organizational design. This conference will significantly
increase participants' ability to identify the issues, design choices, and
approaches that better enable their organization to remain competitive in
today's turbulent environment and move beyond just survival.

The 2002 Organization Design Forum Conference explores how organizations
can be designed for sustainability in a tumultuous economic environment.
The conference will include:

* Pre-conference workshops.
* Keynote and luncheon speakers.
* Presentations and case studies that provide real world examples of design
principles application and tools associated with developing sustainability.
* "Open space" type discussions in small groups where participants can
explore the issues of greatest interest and importance to them.
* Evening events designed for socializing and networking

We are seeking presenters with hands-on experience in designing
organizations for greater sustainability. We invite you to submit a
proposal no later than January 18, 2002

Suggested topics (you may recommend others):

* Designing Organizations to Compete Globally
* How Organizations Adapt to the Boom-Bust Cycle
* People-Focused Designs for High Commitment and High Performance
* Measurement Approaches that Support Sustainability
* Using Strategic Partnerships to Sustain Competitive Advantage
* Designing with the Customer for Agility, Flexibility
* Innovating For Sustainability
* Technology- based Sustainability

Submission Information

Proposals must be received by January 15, 2002. Speakers will be selected
no later than February 8, 2002. We welcome multiple proposal submissions.
Please keep the proposal to two pages or less if possible. See the
template attached to this document.

All speakers will be invited to attend the entire workshop free of charge!

Selections will be based on the following criteria:

 * Attraction: The extent to which the proposal is likely to attract
participants to the session, workshop, or presentation.
 * Theme Relevance: The extent to which the proposal relates to the theme
and outcomes of the conference.
 * Learning Clarity: The extent to which cases and real-life examples
clearly illustrate "lessons learned" such as sound design principles and
approaches. Case studies can be either successes or failures as long as
repeatable "lessons learned" are clear.
 * Practicality: The extent to which participants are likely to get
practical concepts, principles and practices that can be used in the
workplace.
