new learning cohort of an already established M.A. program in Whole
Systems Design (WSD) and Organization Systems Renewal (OSR):
> It's a new millennium and a new opportunity for you to achieve excellence
> as a designer and leader of change in your professional and personal
> life -- it's called Whole Systems Design and Whole Person Learning. This
> knowledge changes the way people think and act in their work and life.

> success with individuals from Boeing, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Weyerhauser,
> and other organizations. Recognized for its innovative design and integrated
> learning community approach, the WSD/OSR graduate program helps
> develop these competencies:
>

> communicating, and managing change;
>
> * Applying creative inquiry and innovative
> leadership that build learning organizations;

> connect the seemingly separate challenges
