The Center For Organizational Development (COD) has had a record of outstanding success in the fields of philanthropic consulting, leadership mentoring and organizational change since 1995.

Owner Dr. Jim Storm is recognized for his expertise, understanding and ability to form professional relationships with clients, which produce positive client-owned results.

COD has been successful at the local, national and international level with very diverse clients.

Work is undertaken only when the mission of the client is in concert with the values of COD and only when it is determined that a strong positive working relationship exists.

A Boy From Nisswa

A Short Sample

The construction phase of A Boy From Nisswa has been delayed by the rainy non-constructive days of life: the death of my wife last November. Now, however, the sun has begun to shine once more and construction has resumed.

Stories like the sixth grade class trip (see attached summary), the realization that "I am in the Army now," and my role as a "charity scout" working with Virginia McKnight Binger, are emerging.

Stay tuned and check in as you wish.
