THE CENTRE for Organization Effectiveness

Public-sector managers face different, and often more complex challenges than their peers in private enterprise. For example, these leaders work in environments that are:

  • Highly political
  • Focused on providing wide-ranging services, rather than profits
  • Complex budgets with little flexibility
  • Complicated networks of stakeholders
  • Public demand for openness and transparency

UC San Diego Extension and THE CENTRE for Organization Effectiveness (pdf) have combined the infrastructure, reach and insight of the University with the seasoned expertise of THE CENTRE to give public-sector leaders a powerful partner to build talent and ensure success.

"Management is, above all, a practice where art, science and craft meet."

- Henry Mintzberg
