Do you have an idea for organizational change or a human resource related project that needs an extra boost? Do you have projects that could be accelerated by mature working professionals completing their graduate studies in leadership and organizational change? Can your Human Resource Department use some assistance in moving ahead with initiatives needing experienced support? Anything is possible by partnering with our graduate students from both our Masters in Executive Leadership (MSEL) and Organization Development and Human Relations (ODHR) programs. This course runs up to six terms per year (approximately every eight weeks) and is dependent on enrollment. If there are not enough students, we will postpone until the following term.

Our graduate students are working professionals who are enrolled in an online graduate program for which they are required to complete a final “capstone” project. While most students complete projects at their place of employment, some prefer to do a project in a new industry or special area of interest. Their skills: Project assessment and recommendations for any organizational initiative, Project development, Strengths-based models of management, Application of distributed leadership methodologies, Action Research to a selected project, Secondary and Qualitative research
