Organisational culture and change

Jul 16th

The key question when looking at the role of organisational culture must be: ‘How do we ensure that the changes we make support the outcomes we have identified as critical to our success?’. This report shows how to take an organisation wide approach to driving and embedding culture change in support of strategic goals.

The system

The organisational culture

It is made up of a rich mix of experiences, including the daily interactions between people, behaviour, language, what is valued and rewarded, what is given priority, recurring systems and processes, the look and feel of the operating environment. It could be described as the means by which people become conscious of the system in which they are operating.
