Featured Event: Consulting Skills for Organization Change

Professional man speaking in a meeting

You’re invited to attend a virtual session for prospective students to learn more about the Schar School of Policy and Government and our graduate programs. This event highlights faculty from our Master's in Organization Development and Knowledge Management program, but all prospective students are invited to attend.

As public, private, and nonprofit organizations face unprecedented changes due to external factors beyond their control, leaders in these organizations often request the help of change management or organization development (OD) consultants. Using content from a sample of courses, Tojo Thatchenkery, professor and director of the master's in Organization Development & Knowledge Management program, will share the three levels of competencies needed to be successful as a management consultant. He will demonstrate how students in the program learn and practice individual, group, and organizational-level consulting competencies throughout the duration of this weekend executive program.
