What We Do
Learning and Performance
By understanding how adults learn in complex social situations, you can design work environments and holistic strategies to foster learning and growth. Concepts, theories and methods involved in the study of cognition, psychology, organizational behavior and education form the foundation for the development of learning systems that extend far beyond the classroom. Approaches that include mentoring, action learning, communities-of-practice and social networks are only some of the emergent practices that have redefined traditional "training and development" functions and offerings, fostering instead the construction of "talent management" systems.
Knowledge Management
Examining how knowledge is created and shared among individuals within teams and in organizations will provide you with insights into how organizations can better leverage their collective expertise. You will learn how to use emergent technologies to design strategies for capturing and transferring knowledge, and learn how to make that knowledge available, so that you can solve immediate organizational needs while spurring future innovations in thought and practice.
Strategic Change
Successful transformation requires knowledge of how individuals and groups respond to change. You will learn how organizations and communities design and sustain effective change and, in particular, the role knowledge plays in recognizing the need for change at organizational, group and individual levels. Our program covers the stages of change assessment, intervention and evaluation.

We provide an innovative curriculum and an intensive student experience that integrates the theories and practices of learning and performance, knowledge management and strategic organizational change. We believe that, regardless of what industry or enterprise you work in or what role you perform in your organization, you can use these three arenas of expertise to drive beneficial change. They are primary drivers for strategies centered on improvement as well as innovation. |
