The Organization Is a System — Not a Chart

Week 4 of Leading Organizations opens with a question students can't shake loose: why do brilliant strategies fail when talented, motivated people are working hard to execute them? The answer — and the Burke-Litwin Model that frames it — lands differently when students arrive there through their own experience first. Theory follows provocation, not the other way around.

Small Moves, System Learning

An interactive module for From Silos to Systems built around personal mastery — not as an individual trait, but as a system property. Students navigate real leadership moments to discover how their choices under constraint ripple outward: how reaction becomes reflection, how emotional intelligence operates under pressure, and why sustained change depends on shared learning rather than individual urgency.

Annual Faculty ReviewBias ReductionEvidence-Based

Designed to support a fair, consistent, and evidence-based review of annual faculty academic and scholarly activity. By focusing on documented contributions across teaching, scholarship, and service, ARIA helps the Dean’s Office generate objective insights that reduce bias and strengthen the annual review process.

Used by the Dean's Office to construct initial faculty evaluation reports — reducing a six-week document process to under one week, with greater cross-departmental consistency and data-grounded conversations.
