Creating
the alignment between an agency's strategy and its ethics provides it with
ethical advantage. This advantage translates into improved efficiencies,
greater productivity, higher service standards, and innovative problem solving.
Cities:
SBE has helped City Managers achieve greater consensus in their councils
and improve the interface between City Management and the Council. Cities
have used the ethical advantage created by SBE to realize vision and build
harmonious coalitions in diverse cities.
Sheriff Departments: SBE has helped
the Sheriff of one of the USA's largest departments to achieve his vision
and bring his sworn and non-sworn personnel into alignment with his values.
Police Departments: SBE has helped
departments bring their bureaus into a common vision with respect to the allocation
of scarce resources, the prioritizing of projects, and restructuring for cost-saving
amidst city and state budgetary crises. SBE helps to build trust and
improve morale in difficult climates.
Department
of Justice: The Simon Wiesenthal Center, under a grant

lead consulting group for this grant, provides new thinking and strategies
to combat Hate Crimes and Terrorism, which have been adopted in various counties,
