The SPACE Model

The OBM Specialist Certificate introduces participants to the SPACE Model of OBM application—Scope, Pinpoint, Assess, Change, Embed. Similar to Six Sigma’s DMAIC, this structured framework provides a common language, set of tools, and systematic process for identifying, analyzing, and addressing workplace challenges.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Identify and define a business opportunity in their workplace. 
• Design an OBM project that addresses this opportunity. 
• Organize and lead a project team while obtaining organizational support. 
• Apply evidence-based methods to implement and sustain improvements

Course Structure and Requirements

The certificate program is delivered online through Moodle and is organized into five modules, each corresponding to a phase of the SPACE Model:

1.    Scope – Frame the organizational opportunity

2.    Pinpoint – Define key behaviors or processes to address

3.    Assess – Collect and analyze relevant data

4.    Change – Implement evidence-based interventions

5.    Embed – Ensure changes are sustained and integrated

Each module requires an estimated 2.5 to 4.5 hours to complete and includes assigned readings, video lectures, applied activities, and discussion prompts. Students have 120 days of access from the date and time of registration.

To earn the OBM Specialist Certificate, participants must complete all required coursework, assignments, and discussions across the five modules.
