SAIDI – Graduate School of OD brings OD to a different level that the 21st century welcomes. Using Appreciative Inquiry as a platform, it calls for OD practitioners, and those dealing with human relations, to adopt a positive mindset as change leaders viewing current realities through a lens that focuses on what is right in the world.
OD experiences in the last decade have shown that many of the problem-based tools and interventions seemingly have become limited within the context of the new millennium. This century challenges mankind with the call for Responsible Stewardship of Technology and for deep Spirituality.
