One Giant Leap: How OD Can Help Lead the Net-Positive Earthshot

This Special Issue of the OD Review edited by guest editors David Cooperrider and Lindsey Godwin, showcases authors who connect organization development with the pressing global challenges of our time and reimagine OD in the context of sustainable development goals, net positive organizations, tri-sector partnerships, and megacommunities. A theme that runs throughout this collection of articles is how business is experiencing a fundamental economic and social reset, moving from a model that is focused on efficiency to a model that is centered around stake holders and well being.
