Organizational Culture & StructureBy facilitating Design Processes, including Sprints, the MIL worked with institutions and programs to co-create organizational culture and structures that actively dismantle structural white supremacy and its cultural norms.
“How can the Multnomah County Department of County Human Services become sustainable, now and into the future?”
How might we heal ourselves in order to show up better for our Black colleagues at the County?
How might DCHS create tools for restorative practices to address acts of harm experienced by systematically excluded employees and create pathways to healing our relationships?
Can we develop a clear organizational communication that supports and deepens our employees’ understanding of the County’s intersectional approach to workforce equity, also known as Leading with Race?
How might we create a comprehensive advice structure that centers the lived expertise of survivors of domestic and sexual violence, feeds engagement, maximizes resources, and creates accountability?
The MIL's Work falls into three main categories: Organizational Culture & Structure; Future Visioning; and Racial & Economic Justice.
