Mini-workshop | Enacting culture change: The Four-Frame Model
2023-11-29 11:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
Many culture change projects are met with general enthusiasm at the conceptual level, but fall short during their implementation. In this Mini-workshop, participants will reflect on their own role as change agents and use Bolman and Deal’s Four-Frame Model to assess and describe different types of barriers to culture change initiatives (structural, human resources, political, and symbolic). We will then use the model to identify where community managers might exert leverage – and what specific actions could help to overcome the identified barriers.

CSCCE Mini-workshop: Creating core values statements
2023-09-28 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York)
Core values statements describe the values underpinning how community members would like to interact, and include a definition of each value as well as examples of what they look like in action. Core values statements are most effective when they are co-created with community members and are specific to the community, rather than re-using values statements that others have created. In this mini-workshop, certification program participants will collaboratively draft core values statements as a cohort, a process they can also adapt for use in their own communities.
