S-11 CULTURE NES: Includes information about events that create or reinforce traditions, cultural changes, ideals, values, beliefs, influences **from outside the organization** like trade treaties, joint venture development agreements, outside suppliers, government regulators, standards, quality, industry or sector norms. (Ask Phillip about this. It seem more like the culture that the organization finds itself in, rather than the culture it creates internally. Is it both?)

JMP (Sat-Jun-05-21)
- The entire Sofi modeling creates the opportunity for more ethical enterprise, especially if done in the open (FedWiki) and if all stakeholders are encouraged to participate. - Review Mick's Model and imagine how Sofi Modeling helps to ensure Audit Capability, Transparency, Integrity, Ethics or Fairness. - Begin to imagine how exceptions to these ethical functions can be dealt with by "external authority".
