Development (OD) is a young social science. Little has been written
on the intentional development of OD professionals. As a young
field of inquiry it is important to understand how the future
leaders of the field of OD are being developed. The focus of this
work explores the education of scholar practitioners in OD. The
research upon which this document is based examined the impact that
professional research doctoral programs (affiliated with the field
of OD) had on the learning and professional development of select
doctoral graduates. Alumni reported important elements of their
educational experience that contributed to their professional and
personal growth. The nature of these educational elements suggest
processes or methods of teaching that may be transferable to
training OD professionals in a broader context outside of higher
education. Even more directly this research provides well informed
feedback to administrators and faculty of professional research
doctorate programs from the alumni about their educational
experience. This feedback could be used to advance both program and
course development in universities that offer these types of
degrees. The intended audience of this work includes practitioners
of OD, professors of OD and management, faculty and administrators
of doctoral education, talent management and leadership development
professionals, and adult educators.
