OD Certification Program
ODCP Alumni Webinar Series
Rivet
Honest conversations from practitioners navigating the real work of organisation development.
What Is Rivet?
Rivet is a webinar series created by ODCP alumni, designed specifically for the OD and people community. It is built on a simple belief: the most relevant insights in organisation development don't sit in textbooks or frameworks alone—they live with practitioners who are navigating real constraints, making trade-offs, and learning in action every single day.
Too often, the richest learning happens in corridor conversations, in the quiet reflection after a difficult intervention, or in the moment a practitioner decides to try something different. Rivet creates a dedicated space for these honest conversations—where practitioners share what they are experimenting with, what is shifting in their thinking, and what remains beautifully, productively unresolved.
Each edition features voices from the field who bring not polished case studies, but real stories of practice. The series is designed to surface the kind of knowledge that only emerges when people feel safe enough to think aloud together.
FOURTH Edition
Measuring What Actually Moves — A Practitioner’s Guide to Leadership ROI
Most L&D leaders have faced this moment. A senior stakeholder, a budget discussion, and a question that is harder to answer than it should be:
“So, what did we actually get for that?”
While leadership development remains one of the most significant investments organizations make, measuring its impact continues to be a challenge. Too often, the conversation relies on participation rates, satisfaction scores, or anecdotal success stories—metrics that rarely stand up in the room where budgets and priorities are decided.
This session explores how organizations can build a more credible and compelling leadership development ROI story. We will examine where traditional measurement approaches fall short, what effective measurement practices look like, and practical pathways for connecting learning investments to business outcomes.
This session explores Leadership Development ROI through an L&D lens and examines:
Where current measurement practices break down and why impact remains difficult to demonstrate
What good looks like when connecting leadership development initiatives to business outcomes
Practical pathways to build a credible ROI story, regardless of where your organization is starting from
Come with a real problem. Leave with a real path.
Meet the Speakers
This edition of Rivet features two practitioners who have been deeply immersed in rethinking performance practices from the inside. They bring not theoretical perspectives, but hard-won insights from building and redesigning systems in fast-moving, real-world contexts.

What to Expect from Rivet Sessions
Every Rivet session is designed to feel more like a practitioner gathering than a webinar. Expect candid reflections, unresolved questions, and the kind of thinking-together that only happens when people bring their real work into the room. You'll leave not with a neat framework, but with fresh perspectives and practical provocations to carry into your own context.
Join the Conversation
The best insights in organisation development emerge when practitioners think aloud together. Rivet is your invitation to be part of that exchange.
The most relevant learning doesn't sit in textbooks—it lives with practitioners who are navigating real constraints, making trade-offs, and learning in action.
Whether you're an ODCP alumnus, a people leader rethinking your approach to performance, or an OD practitioner curious about what behavioural science can offer your work—this session is for you. Bring your questions, your scepticism, and your own stories from practice.

The ODCP Community
The ODCP community brings together practitioners across organisation development, people practices, and leadership roles who share a deep commitment to reflective practice and grounded experimentation. It is a community that values inquiry over certainty, and learning over performance.
Alumni of ODA's OD Certification Programme continue to engage with each other well beyond the programme itself—through ongoing conversations, learning spaces, peer coaching circles, and shared inquiry. The bonds formed during the programme become the foundation for a lasting professional community.
Rivet is one such space—designed to deepen collective learning by making lived experience visible and discussable. It is an invitation to stay connected, stay curious, and stay in practice together. The series represents a belief that community-held knowledge is more powerful than individual expertise alone.
