We provide services to...

Our clients are the senior leaders and managers of the University, those who design and oversee whole organizational systems. The Organization Development Center of Expertise helps clients implement and manage a wide range of change-related issues effectively and efficiently.

We work with leaders to develop multiple mechanisms for changing behavior and improving organizational effectiveness. Through intensive processes of assessment, goal setting and evaluation of organizational systems, we can provide leaders with the tools they need for comprehensive reflection and re-envisioning of their organizations.

We serve as an internal group of experienced, specialized consultants charged to support the initiatives of senior leadership and help leverage projects in alignment with other improvement efforts taking place throughout the University.

I'm a manager. When should I call TMOD and ask for OD assistance?

Typically, a unit could benefit from the assistance of the Organization Development Center of Expertise:

• Before undertaking a change project that will impact many others
• After receiving suggestion from audits, self-studies, or external reviews
• During a transition of leadership
• When merging with or splitting from another unit
• During periods of rapid growth in scope, funding, or size
• As you consider what is next for your organization in 3-5 years
• When concerned about ongoing departures and turnover
• If conflicts are excessive and interfering with getting the work done
• When frustration is mounting from too many problems, demands, and challenges
• When clients, customers, leaders or other stakeholders are dissatisfied with results
• When the same problem persists, despite changes in individual leaders, faculty or staff
• If your group seems to lack a shared set of goals or when people are confused about the direction of the unit

Leaders can't afford to ignore issues that detract from their organizations, nor those that could become more serious problems if not handled effectively.
