Collaborating Instead of Competing
In New York City, 1.1 million children require care after school, on weekends, holidays and during the summer. Several city agencies have overseen these critical yet complex services. They have relied on multiple funding streams. There has been great need for consistent, high quality care. Collaboration in the past had been low. Out of School (OST) programs in the city have been principally provided by several hundred nonprofit agencies and community based organizations. |
Mobil Oil
Reference: Marleah Rogers,
former HR Leader, 919-680-0308
For five years things had gone from bad to worse at this $750 million business unit of Mobil Oil
It was trapped in vicious cycle; Poor performance was met with decreased investment from corporate, which restricted growth opportunities, which in turn hampered performance even further.
The situation was complicated even more by internal divisiveness. A culture of mistrust and parochialism undermined efficiency and effectiveness within the organization. |
Tuberculosis Control Project

72% drop in Tuberculosis incidence in
New York City over a 15 year period
The focus was on controlling the emerging problem of tuberculosis in New York City, which if left unchecked, could potentially become a major epidemic. TB is a disease of poverty and therefore the key city agencies in this project were the Department of Health, the Health and Hospitals Corporation, the Department of Corrections, and the Human Resources Administration. |
