Present : Dr. TV Rao, Prof. KB Akhilesh, G Vishwanath, Dr. Pallab B, Dr. Gopal Mahapatra, G Vishwanath, Dr. Mary Mathew, V Kartikeyan, George Kunnath, Joseph G
Most thankful to Dr. Pallab in making our meeting happen.
Formalisation of an India Network would be necessary to transact business of a conference it would appear. More of course is to be reflected from the membership of our forum.
1. Prof. Akhilesh would like us to firm up details of 2013 conference date, so that IISc can host the AODN conference. He has consented to be the Conference Chairperson.
2. G Vish and Joseph G will prepare an approach note by Dec 15th so that the following can get outlined.
a. Proposal to AODN for the 2013 conference (needs to be sent to AODN by month end Dec 2011)
b. Derivative Concept Note to enlist support from a potential Conference Director
3. Conference Structure beginning with those present above as the Steering Committee that will be expanded to meet a multi-pronged approach. Kartikeyan V, G Vish will help in outlining a conference structure deliberation.
4. An approach Note for professional bodies like AISABS, ISTD, AHRD, Sumedhas, SHRM, NHRDN, NIPM to be outlined by Dr. Rao.
5. In order that we model an inclusive approach, we will need to conduct our meetings as ODers ourselves. George Kunnath reflected deeply the need to involve the participant in experiential mode for real 'conferencing' to happen for the OD community.
Dr. Gopal highlighted the need to look at customer for the conference – namely – Consultants, In-house Practitioners, Academicians and Students.
6. ODIndia Sangam needs to look at aspects beyond the conference, and the build up to the conference. E.g. Nature of involvement of academic institutions and professional bodies in India.
7. A workshop on writing OD Cases may be offered so that content from India can be documented in 2012.
