New Jersey Organizational Development Community

Welcome to the New Jersey Organization Development (NJOD)
Community, an all-volunteer, not-for-profit regional organization
development professional association. NJOD, formed in 1998, is
the world's largest and fastest growing regional OD network, with
over 1,200 members. NJOD is recipient of the 2004 Worldwide
Regional OD Network of the Year Award.

New Jersey OD Community Mission & Vision

Our mission is to advance the field of organization development. We
achieve this mission by sharing our knowledge freely, learning from one another, and building relationship with colleagues. By sharing knowledge freely, we build and strengthen the community knowledge base. We reinvent our skills and prepare for future opportunities by learning from each other. As a free and all-volunteer learning community, it is the relationship we have with one another that determines our growth and success.

Our vision is a united, energized, and mobilized OD community focusing on improving our practices, strengthening our research, and advancing the future of our profession.

Effectively Managing and Communicating in Virtual Teams

 Program

 

 

 

 

As our economic reality requires us to do more with less, and as we continuously integrate electronic communication and social media tools into our professional practices, we find ourselves often working in virtual teams. Virtual teams can span the globe, or can represent a group of professionals in close proximity who choose to manage projects and communication in digital environments. How can we leverage the benefits of working together electronically without the distractions and distortions that arise from mismanaging communication in this environment? How can we productively lead, build trust, resolve conflict, share knowledge, and foster a sense of cohesiveness among team members who do not work together face-to-face? How can we be effective team members ourselves? What can we learn from the insights and cases presented at this session that we can apply immediately to our own demanding business requirements? Bring your questions and plan to participate in this highly interactive session designed to give you access to research and concepts from the Department of Communication at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, and to give you the tools to apply this in the workplace immediately.
