O.D.A. (Organization Development Academy)

What O.D.A. (Organization Development Academy) does

O.D.A. (SIA Organization Development Academy) is a Latvia-based personnel and organizational development consulting firm founded in 2004 by Gitāna Dāvidsone, a certified work and organizational psychologist. The firm is headquartered in Riga and operates with a very lean structure — two named senior consultants (Gitāna Dāvidsone as founder/managing director and Lauma Prikšāne as senior consultant), supported by an additional headcount reported at five employees total. Its mission is to enhance the effectiveness and growth of individuals and organizations by uncovering and developing latent potential.

The company's core service portfolio spans leadership development programs for managers at all levels, management team development, individual coaching, career development, HR function development, and broader organizational development/change management. It packages these services around several proprietary, consultant-authored methodologies: TeamStream (an interactive team express-diagnostics method launched in 2016), the 3D strategic organizational development and change-management framework, and the Organization Effectiveness Model (OEM). The firm also publishes a small management literature series ("ODA vadītājiem") and runs periodic open-enrollment seminars in Riga in addition to customized in-house programs. Its client base is overwhelmingly Latvian and skewed toward public-sector institutions — the State Chancellery, multiple ministries, and municipalities — alongside a smaller roster of private-sector clients including Swedbank and Scania Latvia.

O.D.A. monetizes exclusively through professional services and book sales, with no software, subscription, or platform revenue. Pricing is publicly disclosed only for the open-enrollment seminar track (approximately 380 EUR plus VAT per participant for a four-session program, with group and single-session options). Custom organizational programs and consulting engagements are quote-based. Distribution is entirely direct: in-house client programs, public seminars in Riga, and direct book sales. Geographic reach is concentrated in Latvia, with a Baltic States remit via its representation of the international Arbora career-management network. The company is founder-owned, privately held, has no external funding, and is not pursuing technology-platform expansion.
