Program Areas
The Organizational Dynamics Exchange Network (ODEN) at Penn accomplishes its mission by operating in three program areas:
Scholarship and Research
Affiliated Faculty and Visiting Scholars at The Organizational Dynamics Exchange Network (ODEN) at Penn conduct research, teach, study, and write about a variety of organizational topics.

Outreach
ODEN at Penn works with regional and national professional organizations and societies to support enhanced organizational competencies for their members. These relationships provide a rich network and broader access to resources for participants in ODEN at Penn and its affiliate members. Workshop sponsorship, joint programming, curriculum development, and promotion of professionalism are some of the activities pursued through non-degree seminars, workshops, and other continuing education programs throughout the region. Organizations may request ODEN to create programs for them - programs that reflect the themes taught in the Degree Programs: Organizational Coaching; Global Studies; Projects, Programs, and Portfolios Management; Leadership Management; and Practitioner of Change and Development.
