We are here to support and encourage excellence through continuous learning and development opportunities.

Organizational Development and Learning supports FIU’s commitment to strategic, operational, and service excellence. We do this by:

• Providing strategic alignment, consultation, professional development, and conflict management
• Leading the charge to cultivate a culture that maintains, enhances, and celebrates excellent service throughout the University
• Creating learning opportunities and environments that enhance individual and organizational potential
• Designing and delivering leading-edge learning programs and resources
• Providing a variety of professional development experiences, programs, and events to enhance leadership development
• Providing a variety of learning experiences, programs, and projects to enhance University leaders’ capability to develop other leaders
• Developing partnerships that will help provide diverse professional development opportunities

We uphold the FIU Institutional Values, and guide our operations and practices with the belief that:

• We should be role models for what we promote: high standards for service and quality, team effectiveness, leadership excellence, and personal mastery
• It is most effective for us to “do with” our clients, rather than “do for” our clients
• Effective learning entails continuous application of concepts and skills
• All employees have the potential to enhance their knowledge and skills
• Learning and development opportunities should be accessible, enjoyable, interesting, and relevant
• Each of us possess the capability to lead-ourselves, processes, projects, other people, and/or organizations
• Early and regular involvement in planning and implementation encourages input, ensures information sharing, and heightens commitment
• All team members are essential and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect
• We should embrace diverse backgrounds, perspectives, expertise, and honor confidentiality
• We believe that training can help you develop new skills, but only learning encompasses experiences that evoke engagement, encourage growth, and lead to transformation
