Today’s leaders are committed and talented individuals who are raising the standards of excellence in business, organizations and most importantly, themselves. Led by award-winning faculty and industry leaders, the internationally-recognized and respected Ph.D. in OD program at Benedictine imparts the critical-thinking and leadership skills required in today’s fluid business environment.
“The Ph.D. credential has opened so many doors. As a consultant, I work with leaders and organizations in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, and much of my work is directly connected to the relationship and affiliations I have made through Benedictine. One of the most impactful ways the program improved my career prospects is through building my confidence and being comfortable with presenting complex information to peers both as a scholar and a professional. I learned to hold my own.”
Sarah Malone, Ph.D., Organization Development’07
President and Principal Consultant at TheAldonMalone Group Ltd.
“Some of the biggest benefits were learning from scholars in the field and practitioners who I would consider O.D. superstars. It was great to be able to meet these O.D. greats in person and approach them in such an intimate fashion. I was able to engage in conversations with scholars from Harvard and on an international level that I don’t feel any other program can say. Those conversations added a lot of depth to my curriculum vita.”
Meghan Wright, Ph.D., Organization Development’13
Assistant Professor of Management at Texas Wesleyan University
