Founded in 1981 by F. Craig Barber, Organizational Innovations, Inc. is proud to be one of the original O.I. Partners founding firms. The history of 
O.I. Partners, which incorporated in 1987, and its owner companies, is one of leadership, commitment, innovation and integrity.

Craig, who retired in 1996, believed that service delivery and responsiveness were best achieved when "owned" at the local level. At the same time, he recognized the importance of firm-wide quality assurance and consistency as well as the added value of being able to provide central coordination and "one-stop shopping."

We have, accordingly, developed the most sophisticated project management capability in the industry. Our approach, utilizing our Minneapolis office as your primary regional point of contact in coordination with all of our local practitioner-owned offices, results in an unbeatable combination of creative programming, immediate responsiveness and skilled delivery.

Collectively, O.I. Partners resources and assets compare with those of seemingly larger companies. Moreover, we offer a number of advantages that large, centrally owned and administered organizations cannot claim. 

Each O.I. Partners firm is practitioner-owned, and the owners are personally involved in daily processes, client interfaces, and customer relations. Local ownership of individual offices also results in a strength of community commitment and market knowledge that larger organizations headquartered at remote locations find difficult to duplicate.
