OD meets AI - survey report 2024

Following an expression of interest in a series of talks at the ODNE conference in the Netherlands in June 2023, research was commissioned by the ODNE Board. The aim was to gain a better understanding of the level of awareness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and its impact within the field of Organisation Development (OD).

The work was led by Jesse Segers, Nicola Strong and Tanya Spencer and carried out in collaboration with IODA, ODN and ODPA.

The aims of the research, presented in this report, were to explore:

1. The current perceived understanding of the technology landscape in OD
2. The level of openness to technology, and specifically Artificial Intelligence, by OD practitioners
3. Specific areas where different AI applications have been applied
4. Specific areas, that can be identified, where AI could be applied in the future
5. What might be the components of an ethical AI framework for OD practitioners
