Worthy of Commitment introduces the concept of Living Organisation Development as a practical pathway for creating workplaces grounded in the wisdom of living systems found in nature — places that are productive and also deeply human and regenerative. Drawing upon the authors’ extensive experience as Leadership and Organisation Development (L&OD) practitioners across the people, public, and private sectors, this book illuminates the principles of Living OD in action to unlock flourishing organisations. It seeks to answer a fundamental question: What does an organisation truly worthy of people’s commitment look like, and how can we create one?

By nurturing higher levels of Awareness, Aspirations, Alignment, Accountability, and Authenticity in leaders and across organisations, Worthy of People’s Commitment serves as your invitation to become an active agent in creating flourishing organisations, nations, and communities. Within these pages, you will discover practical ideas and actionable insights on how to apply these principles to enable positive change at any scale.
