Commissioning is not one action but many, ranging from the health-needs assessment for a population, through the clinically based design of patient pathways, to service specification and contract negotiation or procurement, with continuous quality assessment.

“Culture is the shared tacit assumptions of a group that it has learned in coping with external tasks and dealing with internal relationships.”
Schein EH (1999) The Corporate Culture Survival Guide. John Wiley & Sons. Page 186.
