We don't quite know how to change a culture. We have laissez Faire, technology and other cultures in our system. Our campuses are doing massive work in community outreach. A draft report indicates the massive efforts our campuses are already doing. Local level is finding more vital answers than District could do.
Most organizations are far behind Maricopa in trying to construct a values orientation.
Large organizations often have tremendous disconnect between the top and the lower levels while Maricopa is trying to communicate but some companies are ahead of us but require change as a constant. MCCD has lots of inherited traditions which we have not found a way to break down. Many people don't even want to go to college the way we are now set up to serve them. We can't even change fast enough to meet the changing needs if we tried. Next century will be an Asian century.
