Custom Solutions

The Office of Personnel Management's Custom Solutions Team works with agencies to develop solutions tailored to specific organizational needs. We can design a solution to satisfy a one-time need or form a strategic partnership to address ongoing challenges.

Drawing from decades of experience helping government agencies resolve human capital challenges, OPM's Custom Solutions staff works with agency leaders to:

• Understand and articulate specific problems
• Identify desired outcomes
• Determine context and constraints
• Design tailored programs and delivery frameworks
• Execute leadership and workforce development strategies

Because we are government, we understand the distinct environment in which Federal leaders work; and because our programs are designed within the framework of Constitutional values, Public Service and the Executive Core Qualifications, they are uniquely suited to the needs of the federal enterprise.
