ORGANIZATIONAL CONSULTING CENTER (OCC)
The Organizational Consulting Center (OCC) at the San Diego campus functions as a
small business unit within CSPP. We offer consulting services to businesses and organizations
in the private and not for profit sectors and draw upon the expertise and interests
of our faculty and students.
Most of the OCC’s client projects deal with issues of performance effectiveness and
efficiency of individuals, departments, and entire organizations. Students who are
selected to assist with such projects will gain hands-on experience working closely
with a faculty member or one of our local consultant affiliates in performing work
such as restructuring organizations, team building, culture realignment, leadership
development, or coaching services. The type and number of projects vary from year
to year and by campus because they depend on the initiative, creativity, personal
contacts, and available time of students and faculty who enjoy these types of challenges.
