Seek to understand the seven attributes of organizational culture: Mission, Practice, People, Governance, Financial Capacity, Tradition and Institutional History.
Consider how you introduce elements of your organization’s culture to new and long-standing partners as your organization changes over time.
Assess the gaps in your understanding of a partner’s culture and the benefit of learning more.
Discussion Questions:
- Describe three cultural attributes of one partner that serve to strengthen collaboration.
- Describe two cultural attributes of one partner that differ from your organization. How do these differences benefit the partnership?
- How do you express the value of these attributes to your colleagues within your organization and to other partners?
