1 “Putting the pieces together – as a community”

2 Certification recognizes the experience, knowledge and skill of an individual as measured against a standard of practice or competencies of a profession. Owned and operated by CODI, it would assess that an individual actually demonstrates and meets the standard for the OD profession.

3 Completion of CODI’s certification process confers the right to use the title “Certified Organization Development Professional “and the right to use the initials “CODP” after your name. Certification is a "warrant of competence" or "warrant of expertise"

4 The CODP will be a mark of quality. It demonstrates to the public that the OD professional has: Met educational and training requirements Passed a knowledge specific examination Obtained experience in the field of organization development Obtained professional peer references Accountability to a code of ethics Commitment to continuing education

5 Enhances professional reputation, credibility and trust Increases career advancement opportunities Provides a sense of pride and personal accomplishment Validates a level of professional achievement and standard of practice Recognizes a standard level of knowledge and skill Increases job mobility

6 Creates a standard of practice Develops and supports a professional code of conduct Creates a common understanding and language Increases confidence in the service provision of the profession Recognizes knowledge, skill and practice

7 Increases competence level of employees Improves employee satisfaction and engagement Provides professional development opportunities for employees Provides standards for use in hiring, performance management and evaluation practices
