Organization Clarity (OC) blog collections on Google Plus part 1

I have created two collections on Google Plus for the Organization Clarity (OC) blog and public usage, these are just basic logos and a bunch of ROI mockups. I have posted about twenty-two ROI mockup images and about twelve Organization Clarity blog wallpapers. I am just testing some images because of the lack of content out there and for our own use, my audience (you) and I. You may notice that for the Organization Clarity blog wallpapers I focused on using the Blogger address first, that is because this site gets the most views however I will be working soon on the Wordpress site of the OC blog.

I love creating my own images even as basic as they are, this way I have the freedom to tighten up the image and manipulate it as much as I want. I hope that everyone can enjoy these images and add them to their day to day blogs. I will be adding more images as time goes on, to increase, the amount of materials that students, professionals and anyone else can use. I used Microsoft Powerpoint and Paint.Net for these images so they are very basic, however, visuals are very important in presenting information, with this fact very well known, you will be seeing these images in future posts on the Organization Clarity (OC) blog.

Organizational Clarity as a Blog is A+ material

Good news I started this blog as part of a final project for my Learning Technologies class at Roosevelt University, and when I created the proposal for the project I wanted something with wide berth and something that would amaze my fellow students and the Professor. Great news it worked! I got an A for the class!

I knew I mentioned tech issues, free downloads commentary about issues facing Organizational Development in my proposal so covering it all in one or two posts I knew was impossible. So writing 30 plus posts was a challenge but alas I got my A! and a successful blog.

I will still, will be posting and talking about OD related issues in the near future. I will hopefully have more designs, logo, for free downloading purposes in the near future so happy reading and thanks to all of you who helped make this blog great!

Finding Organizational Development organizations to network with, follow or even learn from.

When it comes to Organizational Development there are certain groups you can follow on popular social media sites either Twitter, Blogger, Google Plus, or Facebook, each of these Organizations, allow you access to articles, special tips for Organizational Development (OD) and offer (paid) goods or services that can help you with issues you or your organization may face. Plus, these sites are great for networking, publishing articles for blogs upon, and grow your OD brand overall. One of the main things OP Professionals must do constantly is network and investigate new ideas and solutions to beat the 70% probability of failure when change is implemented in the organization.

One of the main organizations I use a lot is OCAI, Marcella Bremer, who has produced a lot of articles that discusses the failures within Organizational Change and how management’s positive impact can make change possible and change the organization’s culture. The Organization Development Network is more of a paid site however one of the reasons I choose this organizational is because of the annual workshops, the 2017 OD Network Annual Conference happens in October right in Chicago, IL giving the OD Professionals not only a membership in a collective but a major chance to network with other like-minded professionals. But also as a member you will have the chance to work with the organization with Coaching and Mentoring programs to finding a job in the field being a member can have its advantages (and opportunities)! The last one, the Centre for Organization Development you will have the chance to train with the organization at different programs as a member, but on an international stage.

In case you want the chance to connect or just check out more about these organizations that focus on Organizational Development, down below is their primary website, social media sites

5 Things You Should Know About E-learning

I recently read an article called “5 Things You Should Know About E-learning” by Sravanthi Reddy G, the author makes a five-point presentation, about the basics of E-Learning, but I look at it as five ways to overcome resistance to adding E-Learning to your organization’s training repertoire. 

From arguing that it has been around for a long time to easy ROI measurability when it is used for training purposes, these are five brief reasons that you can add on to an argument to increase E-learning in your organization or finally get the go ahead to introducing it. I have seen the difference that an E-learning presence can make in an organization, I have worked at organizations that have it and do not and the differences are literally night and day.

The Main excuse for resistance is not about money although it is a factor, it is just knowledge about E-learning is limited due to fear of technology and belief that it is a fad. Two resistance points that are easily denounced with reason #2 and #5 but points that readily come up time and time again, if you see the same thing happening in your organization I urge you to click on the hyperlink below and read the article about E-Learning to educate yourself and your organization’s E-Learning dissenters

Organizational Clarity blog, now on Twitter!

To extended the reach of the Organizational Clarity blog not only is it on Google Plus with Blogger.com but also Wordpress.com, but that is old news! Now, I have added Twitter to the social media sites this blog will post to therefore you can now see our posts upon:

 https://twitter.com/9_5_mprosser

Now you can friend and follow the Organizational Clarity blog up on twitter also you can quickly comment on the posts too!

Organizational Clarity blog: about me and this blog.

This is a Site with blogs, and soon web pages that will have a focus on the multiple aspects of Organizational Development. Originally started as a class project the information posted here will occur on an ongoing basis.

As I have stated to one of my Professors:  I want this site to have “Organization Development (OD)" as a recurring theme, adding articles and videos directly regarding OD, to adding commentary that is along the lines of OD about various business articles I have read recently. Basically to illustrate the point that once one graduates with a degree they will still need a body of work outside the classroom to show how they stay relevant to other like-minded professionals in the field, while also providing a place to network and find additional resources (about OD) throughout their career…”

I think one of the main things I have found upon online is the uneven availability of resources for OD professionals, there are a few sites that have tons of great information presented by individuals and organizations on a significant scale. Then there are a vast numbers of individuals (and organizations) that present a minuscule explanation or information about what Organization Development is and the resources that can effectively explain or do the job of an OD professional.

My hope is to gain that middle ground between the two groups (I have aforementioned) with the information that I post upon this site periodically. In the hopes that it corrals the majority of these different aspects to become a resource that professionals, students, and individuals with an interest in the field can use.
