Spirit
of Organizational Development
Each
program meeting, we have a drawing for members for a free seminar or
other prize. At our July 2006 meeting, we
gave away an art work. We believe that this is the world's first commission of a work of art
on behalf of an organizational development program meeting.
The collage, symbolizing "The Spirit of OD," is the work
of member Crystal
Brown.
Crystal
Brown's "Art
for All Occasions" provides one-of-a-kind montage art,
original poetry, and the highest quality art reproductions possible.
She has participated
in the Boston Afro-American Artists Association's annual Art in the
Park, Roxbury Open Studios, and The Renaissance Art &
Design/Heard Gallery Epiphany series.
The
title of the collage is "Four Seasons". It
illustrates the concept that, while organizations will always
go through transitions, leadership should also acknowledge that
the need for "seasonal change" and characterizes how teams can compile a "series of pictures" or
individual ideas to form a unique product or service, one that
may have not surfaced had it not been a "collective
effort". Her
work helps organizations acknowledge that change requires creativity
and innovation and that is how the "artistic mindset" can help
achieve those objectives.
