In this Do OD podcast series we talk about complexity and possibility, change and uncertainty. The voices you’ll hear are experts in OD, each bringing their own unique perspectives to the challenges we face as OD practitioners in the NHS. 

You’ll hear advice on how OD teams can nudge systems forward, be catalysts for change and amplify the humanity in our organisations, with insights from specialists in complexity, organisation design and gestalt theory, as well as from experts in different sectors and other countries. 

The conversations took place over several months from autumn 2021 to Spring 2022, following of one of the most disruptive and demanding periods for the NHS in recent times. 

We're grateful to all the OD experts who took part in these podcasts and the inspiring and thought provoking conversations they offered.
