Our Training Approach

Our approach is driven by the idea of developing visionary leaders capable of transforming organizations, communities, governments, nations, or our world for the benefits of people. Our programs are built on foundational public service values and competencies that transcend professions and missions. Drawn in the latest public and private research, our programs and services are dedicated to the mission of transforming people and organizations, focusing on contemporary challenges through the lens of both government and private sectors. This approach fosters the exchange of ideas, best practices, and resources to strengthen and improve individuals and agencies. Our programs support developing visionary leaders, building capacity to solve challenges, and improving human resource capabilities.

Developing visionary leaders

We believe great leaders can transform and improve organizations or governments to best serve the people. Whether you are an aspiring leader, new supervisor, or seasoned executive, our career-spanning, multilevel leadership curriculum guides you through development and career growth – for your current role or the one you aspire to.

​

Our curriculum is built upon OPM’s Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) and competencies that represent guideposts on the path to career and organizational success.
