We continued to thrive during COVID because we stayed connected, motivated, & communicated as often as possible. Rituals gave us the space to acknowledge our fears and anxieties.”

Course Description
A social enterprise’s identity is shaped not only by its work, but also by its teams and the culture that binds them together. A team culture driven by values enhances retention, cohesiveness, and commitment among employees - which makes developing it essential for any enterprise.
In this course, you will travel with Acumen fellow, Dilip Kumar Pattubala, on his journey to define a values-aligned culture for his enterprise, Uninhibited. Witness how Dilip developed a united, resilient team - going from two to a hundred individuals - to further Uninhibited’s mission of de-stigmatizing menstrual, sexual, and reproductive health for marginalized populations in India.
You will gain insights on how to cultivate a culture that aligns with and operationalizes the mission, vision, and values of your enterprise, so that your team and partners are empowered to make values-aligned decisions and further social impact. As you learn from and with Dilip, you’ll have opportunities to reflect on your own enterprise’s culture and begin making intentional changes to strengthen it.
