Now in our seventeenth year of operation, the aim of our "OD" sessions is to continue to foster an improved appreciation of "thinking together about thinking," which we refer to as InThinking, within an emerging thinking network that is developing inside Aerojet Rocketdyne and beyond.

This is a toll-free conference call within the United States and Canada. International participants are welcome to join in as well, provided they do so at their own expense for the conference call.

Conference call information, both toll-free and for-fee, is provided upon completing the participant survey for each month's conference calls. Link here for instructions on how to use Skype for toll-free participation. Link here to find your time zone in comparison to the Pacific Time zone, where the calls are hosted every month from 12-2pm.

The announcements are posted on this web site as a public service to participants who are members of the In2:InThinking Network.
