Proposes a newly defined organizational development role for academic and faculty developers and directors of teaching and learning centres. It provides evidence-based research into what directors of centres are currently doing as organizational developers, and how they shape, influence, and plan institutional initiatives that intersect with teaching and learning. The strategies outlined provide a practical resource for re-examining the mission and structure of existing centres and to develop their role as change agents.
