What DNP 713 is really about

DNP 713 starts with what can be seen. Students photograph the artifacts of their own organizations, read them through Schein’s levels, and debate whether leaders shape culture or culture shapes leaders. The theories of Schein, Hatch and Gagliardi are compared in a mind map.

The second half moves from understanding to changing culture. Students examine instruments that measure culture, design a space that influences it, and write a synthesis paper describing how to change one area, such as patient safety or a culture of inquiry, before presenting their model live.

What DNP 713’s assessments ask for

The posted syllabus grades a photo diary, two discussion boards, a live debate, two MindManager mind maps, a design presentation, a synthesis paper and a final presentation, for 350 points.

Where students lose points in DNP 713

Points slip when artifacts are interpreted as facts rather than possibilities, when theory maps present three separate summaries without links, when instrument maps list features without judging them, and when culture models review theory instead of setting stages, leader actions and measures.
