Ann C. Baker
Director, Organization
Development and Knowledge Management Program
The George Mason School of Public Policy's
Program in Organization Development and
Knowledge Management (ODKM) addresses fundamental questions
of change and complexity in organizations.
The master’s degree
equips professionals with both knowledge
and ability to act effectively in a world
that requires innovation, interactive ways of working, and
new concepts of leadership.
A highly collaborative team of faculty
and students work across disciplines to explore the ways communities
and organizations learn. They use these ideas to gain valuable hands-on
experience in helping organizations become productive, profitable,
and more humane.
The master's degree candidates are current
and future leaders of large and small organizations. They explore new
ways to work efficiently and hospitably by mining innovative sources
for creative ideas and cultivating organizational environments that
generate knowledge in sophisticated ways.
"
A unique dimension of the program is
that while focusing on the human and social aspects of organizing,
we also emphasize the use of collaborative technology to support interactive
learning and knowledge sharing. The program prepares a new generation
of knowledge workers and reflective practitioners with capabilities
needed in all types of organizations,'' says Director Ann Baker.
The
ODKM (formerly Organizational Learning)
Program offers two master's degrees -- one in Organization Development
and Knowledge Management and the
other in Knowledge Management.
