Effective and healthy organizations adapt and thrive in the midst of a rapidly changing political and economic environment. We believe that organizations comprise a diverse set of components that determines their effectiveness and sustainability over time. At the heart of an organization is a vision and core set of values. That vision and those values help shape the organization’s mission, which, in turn, informs its program strategies and other components. An organization’s effectiveness depends on a shared understanding of, and commitment to, the vision, values and mission.
