Strategic Initiatives has worked with a variety of colleges, universities, corporations, and associations in developing leadership programs for today’s globally competitive enterprises. Many of these programs are “embedded” in the sense that they are fully integrated into the performance standards and culture of the client organization. These efforts include:

• Working with the Higher Colleges of Technology in the United Arab Emirates to propose an initiative for the Gulf Region on “Leading and Managing in the Global Economy;”
  
• Leadership development programs at Eastern Michigan University and Pace University as part of comprehensive technology enhancement and leveraging programs;
  
• Embedded leadership development at Curtin University of Technology as part of the strategic positioning project and campus-wide leadership colloquium;
  
• Embedded leadership programs at B.F. Saul Corporation, supporting the Virginia Tech Cooperative Leadership Institute;
  
• Leadership development as part of strategic planning and change management consultation engagement with associations such as the Air Conditioning Contractors Association, National Apartment Association,  Tree Care Industry of America, and American Health Information Management Association.

Leadership development is a fundamental component of Strategic Initiatives’ change management services.
