Pacific NW ODN Presentation: Unfrozen organizations - Our role as agents of change

We have seen how the pandemic and Black Lives Matter has unfrozen organizations and led them to their current choice points—how much are organizations taking this opportunity to truly transform or trying to get back to the ways they were? How are organizations using this moment for strategic culture change and to have breakthroughs in their culture and how they work? Additionally, what is our role as OD consultants and professionals in working with organizations who have been unfrozen?

Management Consulting in the Era of the Digital Organization

Fred Miller & Judith Katz join a panel discussion at the 81st Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management

As we begin to fully experience the era of the digital organization, one of the questions critical to the field of management consulting is, how is the practice and research of management consulting affected by the epoch of the internet of things, biotechnology, materials science, data science and big data, and quantum computing? The upcoming volume of Research in Management Consulting, Management Consulting in the Era of the Digital Organization, addresses this question. The purpose of this professional development workshop is to provide participants with a venue for sharing and exploring knowledge about management consulting in a virtual world. Contributing authors of the forthcoming volume share their observations about new consulting processes and techniques and interact with attendees interested in either enhancing their practice or developing their research agendas. The session brings together established scholars, practitioners, scholar-practitioners, and doctoral students, creating a forum through which practice and research ideas can be shared and research partnerships that emphasize inquiry into the field of management consulting during a time of profound change.

Curating a Sustainable Consulting Practice: Reflections of Experts

Fred Miller & Judith Katz will be part of a panel at the 81st Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management

The consulting industry continues to evolve in the age of digital transformation, and the expanding role of the management consultant remains critical as managers seek to navigate uncertainty. When and how professionals choose to engage in a consulting practice is a career consideration for many career pivoters, doctoral students, and academics seeking to be more connected to the practice of management. This symposium reports on the amazing career stories of ten experienced consultants who each have cultivated sustainable consulting practices. Often the choice to launch a consulting practice occurs after many have established themselves as scholars in a particular management knowledge area and become interested in putting their scholarly knowledge to work. Universities are not in the business of developing their professors and students as consultants. Thus, there is a need to address this desire among many members of the Academy of Management. The purpose of this symposium is to provide participants with a venue for sharing and exploring how to develop a management consulting practice. Members of the Academy of Management (both scholars and practitioners) who have thriving consulting practices and/or firms will share their stories and interact with participants interested in either developing or enhancing their consulting practices. The session brings together established practitioners, scholars, and students, creating a forum through which ideas can be shared about how to make the shift from scholar to consultant.
