Transforming an organization is a challenge for those responsible for leading that organization. Changing the culture is known to take three to five years to accomplish under the best of circumstances. Assisting leaders to begin this culture change can be facilitated through learning new knowledge and developing practical skills that will facilitate transformation within these organizations. This is the intent of seeking approval to provide the courses, Interpersonal and Organizational Excellence I and II.
Because we are all tired of using fads which do not improve and sustain results, these courses are based on a proven model used in healthcare and public education that improved outcomes beyond expectations over time.
