The following is the list of perspectives adopted by this study. When you answer the questions, please carefully consider them.
• We are identifying values of the field of OD for the future.
• OD values should guide how we practice OD.
• OD values can distinguish OD from other practices.
The goal of this demographic survey is to gather information to help us recruit a group of OD practitioners and researchers who can provide input regarding OD values including the definitions and behavioral indicators that can guide OD practice. We will use the survey responses to select participants for the study, ensuring maximum diversity in terms of geographic location, professional identity, gender, and educational level. We plan to implement three rounds of Delphi surveys. In each round, we plan to facilitate reaching consensus on the labels, definitions, and behavioral indicators of OD values for the future.
Specifically, here is a tentative plan for each round:
