Oregon Department of Human Services Director Fariborz Pakseresht talks with Phil Basso, director of organizational effectiveness at the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA). This 16-minute podcast gives an overview of the organizational assessment APHSA is conducting to determine where the Department is on the Human Services Value Curve today and how it can ascend this maturity model to realize the potential of the people we serve and the systems we use to do so, rooting all our work in equity. The 11-part review includes gathering staff, community partner and external stakeholder input as well as integration of past assessments to unify activities.
