DaVita HealthCare Partners and the Denver Public Schools: Creating Connections Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

In 2011, the DaVita HealthCare Partners (DaVita)- a Fortune 500 healthcare services firm specializing in kidney dialysis services-and the Denver Public Schools (DPS)-the biggest school district in Colorado-forged a plan to integrate greater intentional emphasis on values and leadership in the vicinity of the district. A few months into the 2013-2014 school year, DaVita “Mayor” Kent Thiry, DSP Superintendent Tom Boasberg and the member within their teams assemble to review and evaluate the entire improvement, impact, and challenges of their unique corporate-community partnership focused on leadership development and culture in the last two years.

With the partnership showing great promise, Thiry and his team wonder how specializing may create new partnerships and grow their social impact as a business without detracting from DaVita's own growth and expansion and also the needs of its own "teammates." The case gives pupils the chance to investigate how a mission-driven Fortune 500 business can leverage its own resources and HR expertise to partner with non-corporate entities to create societal value and support success in American public instruction.
