NCAP - Celebrating Community Action Month with a Focus on Results-Oriented Culture
No matter what change is being considered or the location or size of the Community Action Agency, there is one constant that largely determines success or failure – it is the role and importance of organizational culture. Culture is the beliefs, values, and assumptions that shape behaviors and help individuals understand the organization. Culture is often so strong and so powerful that when there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between the current culture and the objectives of change, the culture will win. For our purposes, we consider how an organization's culture is related to its success in producing positive outcomes for families, communities, and our agencies. Join us as we identify the building blocks of a “results oriented culture” and come away with ideas on how you, no matter your title or position, can be an advocate for results.
