#Throw Back Thursday:
Bye Bye to Tommie Retirement Party
(Tom Packard) retired from the City OEP program back in the early 80's to join SDSU. The most unique things about this photo are the Coors beer in my hand (I used to drink!) and the chart which shows:
--Dinner
--GORNOV (Goals, Roles, Norms, and Overview)
--Ice Breaker (an old Organization Development way to start anything)
--The Soppettes (colleagues doing line dancing)
--Trivia Test (about Tom) etc.
We (members of the OEP staff) had much fun that night. It was a great team.
OEP = Organization Effectiveness Program
"Tommie" was my partner on the ground breaking OD intervention with the San Diego Fire Department.
