Change Lab
Love your work. Love your lab
Join us in creating healthy, productive research cultures
The Change Lab is Otu Lab’s initiative aimed specifically at the research community to increase both well-being and productivity.
We are conducting a participatory study to apply and evaluate our approach for improving work outcomes for researchers.
Labs in Crisis
It is difficult to overstate the impact that science has on society. And yet, evidence suggests that researchers themselves are struggling.
For example, over 50% of Spanish researchers feel negative work culture significantly affected their productivity, a significant loss in potential impact. If that weren’t bad enough, many report research takes place in toxic environments.

How we help
Our services aim to provide researchers and other members of the research community positive alternatives to the behaviors, structures, and routines that sustain workplace dysfunction.
We help to create supportive, collaborative environments where people can achieve their best. Every participant will come away from our training with practical skills they can use that boost not only productivity but also well-being.
Frequently Asked Questions
We set our fees on a sliding scale based on ability to pay. Those in the for-profit sector can expect to pay competitive rates reflecting our expertise, while those in the public sector, NGOs, and those with other needs can expect less.
Any member of the research community can participate. The Change Lab curriculum has been designed specifically to benefit teams of researchers. The absolute best way to do the Change Lab is with your team, because the possibility to change organizational culture is highest when working with a coalition. However, individuals will also learn leadership and problem solving skills that can have lasting impact on their workplace.
You should be able to dedicate about 3 hours per week to completing the course, which includes coaching, activities, and skills training.
Yes and no. The Change Lab is an application of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for the organizational setting with a diverse array of management and leadership concepts, where these have evidence support. DBT is a powerful approach to problem solving with a long history of improving well-being, even in highly complex situations.
