Organizational Development

Customized education is about the relationship between the client and the institution. At UMW, we harness the power of interdisciplinary expertise to deepen insight, expand critical thinking ability, and advance your organization. We can put together a faculty team or assemble stakeholders to support the curriculum, creating a customized educational solution to your workforce needs for organizational development.

We start with an assessment to thoroughly understand your organizational culture, strategy and desired outcomes. Then we’ll partner with you to design, deliver, and measure your customized program.

We’re dedicated to ensuring that the delivery of the program goes exactly as planned.
