ODS Customer Testimonials

Sally Waters gave me expert advice in how to best organize a critical retreat for a new group of campus professionals, resulting in a very successful outcome. Her facilitation of the retreat also allowed a group of more than 50 people from departments throughout UC Davis to begin a new working relationship in a positive spirit of collaboration.  She allowed the members of the group to take ownership of their ideas and stimulated their creativity. The energy and enthusiasm that resulted will serve us well for months, if not years, to come.

Lisa Lapin, Assistant Vice Chancellor for University Relations

Our UC Davis campus is a better place to work today for many faculty and staff due to the positive contributions of the Management Consulting & Organizational Development team. During its brief two-years of service to the campus, ODS has successfully worked with teams and individuals from service and academic units to help find ways and build skill sets to improve communication, resulting in better business processes and work environments. I am very proud of the work of this team and look forward to the many additional contributions they will be making to our campus in the years to come.

Stan Nosek, Vice Chancellor for Administration

Teams throughout UC Davis are increasingly challenged to more effectively leverage human and physical resources in order to meet customer needs.  Alone, accomplishing this goal can be daunting, but expert help is available to assist you.  Since the Organizational Development Services (ODS) unit was formed two years ago, ODS has helped academic and administrative units enhance teamwork, communication and problem-solving, establish more effective strategic focus and goals, and work on a wide variety of other organizational challenges.  We appreciate the significant challenges facing you, and encourage you to give ODS a call to discuss how we can assist you.
