Organizational Excellence Community of Practice

Established in 2017 under the umbrella of ASU’s Organizational Performance Office, the Organizational Excellence Community of Practice is a vibrant community dedicated to advancing organizational excellence throughout the university.

OECoP aligns with ASU's charter and cultivates success by championing excellence through a blend of social, cultural, and learning opportunities, which include:

• One Hour to Skill Mastery.
• TED Circles.
• The Book Club.
• Speaker Series that Vibes.

The Speaker Series that Vibes is a robust and dedicated platform highlighting a distinct business-related topic to promote organizational excellence during its annual events. We invite internal and external speakers to present information on the session topic. 

Included in the event are VIBE Networking is an in-person networking opportunity. Networking is a critical skill and practice in developing proficiency and advancing careers. This structured event offers a casual setting for staff and faculty to connect and foster the expansion of their professional networks. 

One Hour to Skill Mastery sessions are monthly concise, one-hour virtual interactive workshops designed to focus on a specific skill, enhancing attendees’ toolkit and skills. Led by volunteer facilitators, the first half-hour is dedicated to guiding participants in learning a new skill, with the second half of the session reserved for hands-on practice. The fast-paced nature of the limited time ensures a dynamic and focused learning experience for participants.

The Book Club, sponsored by the Business Analysis Community of Practice, is now part of OECoP’s offerings. A different predetermined business-related book is featured and discussed at each of the four annual sessions.

TED Circles is a quarterly gathering where participants collectively view a selected TED Talk video and engage in casual discussions about its potential application and impact within the university.
