If I understand Monica's point correctly - she is stating that we have underfunded social services because we "could" and because the funding was supplemented by charitable organizations. The recent challenges seen in Georgia related to privatization of Foster Care (as a pilot) made the underfunding apparent. I have sent an email to several people that I believe have better insight on this than me and am eager to learn from them.

In regards to learning in the corporate world - I wonder if it is underfunded or misfunded or properly funded? Clearly "it is what it is" - my concern stems from anecdotal stories from third party public training providers who state that the attendees who pay for classes themselves (vs. those whose attendance is paid for by their employer) are much better students.

Does the effort we make to benefit from "something" have anything to do with how the "something" is being paid for?

What new payment models in corporate learning would your answer see as positive models?

Does "training" have a stigma attached to it too? Professional sports mandates participation in training and there is positive association to those who voluntarily do extra training. How might we create a similar respect for training in the business world?

2019 Don’t Overlook Culture For Success In Merging Organizations

Is there any proof that paying attention to culture increases the success of mergers?

What if both cultures were good to begin with? Might the merger upset one or both?

What if one or both cultures were not good? Might the merger be the "culture shock" that was needed?

How can we be assured that when we pay attention to culture - we do so effectively?
