The Network of Organizations Alive! Practitioners

The Network of Organizations Alive! (a.k.a. NOA!) Practitioners was launched on November 29, 2005, with the first graduates of the Workshop held on November 21 and 22. Since then our numbers have grown, and we are becoming a dynamic and very lively network of highly-skilled consultants, managers, executives, project leaders, facilitators, trainers, coaches, and HR specialists. We are challenged daily by our clients, but encouraged by the insight, simplicity, and comprehensiveness that the Organizations Alive! Model model brings to the work that they ask us to do. You can read some members' profiles at this link.

NOA! provides support and learning opportunities for Practitioners (Trained, Licensed, and Master Levels) of the Organizations Alive!  Model, including:
