What kind of friction is slowing your organisation down—and is it the kind that challenges, or the kind that quietly corrodes performance? In Organisation Development, we often look to build capability, improve systems, and align people to strategy. But sometimes the biggest gains come not from adding new layers, but from removing the friction that’s already there..

We'd love to hear from you so send us a message! Why does progress feel harder than it should, even when everyone’s working flat out? Why do good teams struggle to have the right conversations, make clear decisions, or follow through effectively? In this episode of the OrgDev Podcast, we explore the invisible drag on performance: team misalignment. When people act on different assumptions, even the most committed teams end up stuck in confusion, slow decisions and fractured collaboration. It’s not about effort – it’s about shared understanding. And alignment is what cuts through the fog. But alignment doesn’t just happen. That’s why we’re joined by Lindsay Uittenbogaard, Founder of Mirror Mirror and a leading expert on team alignment, to discuss: What alignment really means (beyond just agreement) Why misalignment is often overlooked How to make alignment a standard part of how teams work If you’re leading change, running teams or supporting strategy delivery – this episode is for you Go to the Mirror Mirror website: https://mirrormirroralignment.com/ Follow Lindsay and Mirror Mirror on Substack: https://mirrormirroralignment.substac...

How to Start Your Career in Organisation Development with Dr. William Brendel - OrgDev Episode 63 50:57

We'd love to hear from you so send us a message! In this jam-packed episode of the OrgDev Podcast , we welcome the brilliant and boundlessly productive Dr. William (Bill) Brendel - award-winning OD educator, researcher, consultant, and founder of OpensourceOD.com . If you’ve ever wondered "What kind of OD practitioner am I?" or "How do I actually get into this field?" then this episode is for you. Bill shares insights from over 25 years of global OD consulting and cutting-edge research, including his work developing the MOST (Mastering Organizational and Societal Transformation) assessment - the first psychometrically validated OD competency model. Based on thousands of job descriptions, this tool helps emerging and seasoned practitioners align their strengths and interests with real-world career paths, providing clarity in a field often marked by ambiguity. We unpack the challenges of entering and navigating OD careers, from the blurry boundaries of OD roles to the messy reality of job descriptions that rarely reflect the true nature of the work. Bill discusses how Opensource OD is helping bridge the gap between academia and practice, offering a "dojo" for practitioners to build technical skills and reflective wisdom through immersive, real-world case studies contributed by legends like Ed Schein and Peter Block. Other highlights include: Why OD is best understood as evolving practice rooted in a three-part test: social + technical + influence How social presencing theater and design thinking are being used in traditional settings The ethical dilemmas OD professionals face, and how reflective practice and “use of self” help navigate them How to thrive in a world of “permanent whitewater” with mindfulness and intentional learning This episode is a goldmine for anyone shaping or shifting their OD path.
