GIODN is pleased to welcome Jack Phillips for this very special speaking event. In today’s challenging economic climate, the best way to gain support, respect, and funding is to show the business impact and ROI of your OD projects and programs. For costly, high-profile, and strategic programs, calculating the financial ROI—along with other levels of data—makes a convincing profile of success, satisfying all the stakeholders, including top executives and chief financial officers. This session will present a proven way to design an OD project to deliver impact, calculate ROI, and use the results to maintain or enhance the OD budget.

1. Identify the types of data executives need from OD projects.
