Leadership

Building High-Performance Organizations in the 21st Century

Understanding the Theory and Practice of Organizational Change

Overview

This advanced program offered by the Federal Executive Institute (FEI) is based on three key assumptions: 

  • You are an expert on your organization because of your years of experience
  • You want to lead your organization into a culture of high performance
  • You are better able to bring about change when you have a foundation of organizational theory

This program will help you look inside your agency and ask, “How can I move it toward high performance?” You will link your expert knowledge about your surroundings with the best organizational theory to transform your agency into one that delivers high-quality products and services, outstanding customer value and sound financial performance. Through varied presentations and an intensive small-group format, you will get the most out of your interactions with both your colleagues and the seminar leaders. Faculty will also be  available to provide individualized feedback outside of class.
