The Center for Effective Organizations exists to promote the holistic advancement of organizations and the people who function within them.

We believe in creating and sustaining an organizational environment that promotes values, innovation and adaptation. We believe employees and organization members thrive when leaders invest in their holistic development – from spiritual formation to technical proficiency.
With this perspective and the combined expertise from our faculty, consultants, researchers and strategic global partners, the Center for Effective Organizations is uniquely positioned to offer lucid and effective solutions for organizations and leaders worldwide.
