OD Virtual Mentoring

Do OD is building a national OD virtual mentoring network where OD practitioners and those working in change and transformation can access an experienced OD mentor, using a virtual process. We will also be seeking mentees from our NHS and care organisations and systems through the Do OD network as well as through regional and local networks.
Are you an OD practitioner in the NHS looking for a mentor?
The Do OD Virtual Mentoring programme aims to develop capability and capacity among OD professionals in health and care to drive change and transformation in the sector.
The programme uses a group of experienced OD professionals who act as mentors, sharing their wisdom in this field with mentees who apply to the scheme.
Mentees will gain:
- High quality mentoring in the virtual space.
- An opportunity to learn from the experience of others.
- A safe space to stay sharp in your OD practice.
If you are interested, you need to:
- apply online by using this JotForm.
- commit to a minimum of three virtual mentoring sessions.
- feed back and review your experience following the sessions.
The deadline for applications for mentees is 11 November 2022. We will be in touch by the end of November if you have secured a place.
Our mentors
We have recruited nationally to find a great group of experienced OD professionals who are being trained in how to maximise their mentoring skills in the virtual space.
Our OD mentors come from a range of backgrounds. They are selected based on their track record of successful OD practice, OD experience and knowledge, and personal qualities.
All mentors have previous mentoring experience and the programme is designed to train them in using a virtual process as part of a national OD mentoring network. They will be matched with two mentees working in OD and change.
- “The entire virtual OD mentoring programme completely transformed my views about the capabilities of telephone/remote mentoring and coaching. I joined the pilot a sceptic and became a total convert. What a brilliant foundation for this current world” - mentor feedback August 2020.
- “My mentees always inspire me to be a better practitioner and leader” - mentor feedback July 2021.
