COR was born in 1994 as an extracurricular service project affiliated
with the Gonzaga University Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies. At
that time, several doctoral faculty were overwhelmed with requests for
consulting and technical assistance from organizations who were
troubled in some way, or who were searching for skills necessary to
deal with rampant, widespread, and unprecedented organizational change.
Grounded in the literature and research on organizational change and
leadership, these graduate faculty members began to offer
trainer-of-trainers workshops so that an expanded number of competent
professionals would be trained and available to organizations with
these needs. These training experiences attracted many doctoral
students (many of whom now hold the Ph.D.), as well as many interested
and talented community leaders not formally affiliated with Gonzaga
University.
COR’s mission is directly traceable to the mission of both Gonzaga and its Ph.D. Program in Leadership Studies. Because of its roots in an academic setting, COR’s work is grounded in sound theoretical and empirical foundations, and COR Associates maintain a lifelong attachment to learning and keeping current on issues which comprise COR’s work. |
