Fees
The initial consultation is provided at no cost to you. If after our consultation you decide to engage our services, our fee is $150 per hour. Although we are a fee-for-service operation, as an internal department serving the greater Duke community, our fees are priced well below market value as compared to external providers offering similar services. In addition, you will benefit from working with professionals who are not only well-versed in the field of Organizational Development and Effectiveness, but also familiar with the operation of higher education and health systems.
