Two questionnaires were applied to identify the type of predominant organizational culture and level of development of managerial competencies, using descriptive statistical techniques and inferential. The results reflect a slight predominance of collaborative culture. So the institution moves into a culture that encourages strategic based innovation, organizational learning and knowledge management.
