Are you a company looking to gain more insights related to the behavioural aspects of your business?

Lethbridge College is proud to present teams of students that would be eager to advise and provide feedback regarding any and all aspects of Organizational Behaviour (OB).

Working in teams of 4-5, our students will act as OB specialists and study your business to identify key areas for improvement. They will draw on OB theory and knowledge to identify and discuss OB issues relevant to your company. You can choose to outline more than one area of focus which leads to practical recommendations aimed at solving your business needs.

Project Examples

Building on their OB theory and knowledge, each team will clearly and thoroughly analyze the issues and develop recommendations for your company, based on the issues you have presented. Students will develop their assessment based on the following criteria:

  • what OB theories/knowledge most clearly identify the issues (alternative solutions to the problems & criteria ranking)
