AFFILIATIONS AND ALLIANCES
The first category of ‘Partner’ is a SNAP member (Strategic National Alliance Partner). OIPD has SNAP members in several countries (See Organization Chart or OIPD ‘Structure’). Ideally it is a goal to have one in each of the 30 countries with OIPD members.
Most SNAP members operate as an independent ‘Agent’ and as a Consultancy, a Learning and Development Centre, an Advisory or Assessment Centre, with names even registered as a non- profit business, For example, Oxbridge Development Centre (ODC) or Oxbridge Assessment Centre (OAC)
They are OIPD’s National representative and a ‘Brand Ambassador’ helping promote OIPD membership benefits, awards, and services.
Another category of alliance is the prestigious organizations who mainly contribute articles or valuable Research Data on learning or professional development, for OIPD to publish in its journal (IJPD) or e-Magazine and of course this website.
These include from the USA, ATD (Association for Talent Development) the DANA foundation,and Edutopia. From the UK, CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) PM Insight (People Management Insight and OXCEL (Oxford Centre for Leadership) and UNESCO (United Nations Education and Scientific Organization) with its HQ in Paris, France, to name a few regular contributors.
