Creating a Partnership Organization

Partnership as we define it is a process for creating inclusive environments that achieve outcomes across a range of differences present. The goal is to increase collaboration, communication, and outcomes as defined collectively by the group utilizing the following parameters: conscious inclusion of all dimensions of diversity, equivalent outcomes across differences, and ongoing learning for leadership. Ultimately, a philosophy of partnership provides an approach that guides day-to-day decision-making and creates an environment for safe and expansive learning communities. We will tailor our services to meet your needs.

Services can include:

• Power and Difference Workshops
• Diversity Leadership Coaching
• Strategic Planning
• Managing Diversity Skills Training
• Strategic Diversity Recruitment & Retention
• Retreat Planning and Facilitation

Three phases of the Opening Doors Diversity Project’s organizational development approach:

1. Developing understanding and commitment
2. Building knowledge and skills
3. Establishing partnership as a process of continual reflection, planning and growth
