Episode 05: From Metrics to Meaning - Evaluating OD Success

UNBOXING OD: From Curiosity to Capability in Organizational Development

Success in Organizational Development isn’t always easy to define. Unlike tracking sales or profits, OD measures impact in areas like engagement, retention, and culture - elements that often resist easy quantification. In this episode of Unboxing OD, host Kenneth Pearson unpacks the art and science of measuring OD success.

From leading indicators like engagement scores to lagging indicators like improved retention and productivity, we’ll explore the tools and strategies that help organizations connect their OD efforts to meaningful outcomes. Kenneth dives into real-world examples of how metrics have revealed the impact of initiatives, complemented by qualitative insights that bring the data to life.

If you’ve ever wondered, “How do we know if our OD work is making a difference?” this episode is for you. Tune in to discover actionable ways to evaluate your efforts, refine your strategies, and communicate the value of OD to stakeholders.
