Building High-Performance Organizations
Understanding the Theory and Practice of Organizational Change
Overview
This seminar is based on three assumptions:
-
Through your years of observation, you are an expert on your organization
-
You want to lead a change process to build a high-performance organization
-
You can better effect change if you have a framework for your knowledge of organization theory
Take the role of diagnostic consultant to look inside your agency and ask, "How can I move it toward high performance?" This process will help you link your expert knowledge about your surroundings with the best organizational theory to transform your agency into one that delivers high-quality products and services, outstanding customer value, and sound financial performance. Presentations will be varied. Small- group formats will maximize discussion "airtime." You will be able to consult with the faculty outside of class throughout the program for individualized feedback.
