What is Organizational Culture?

It is about individuals in an

organization sharing patterns of

behavior based on shared beliefs

and values

It is the sum total of an

organization's past and current

experiences, philosophy, and

values that hold it together

It is based on shared attitudes,

beliefs, customs, express or

implied, and written and unwritten

rules that the organization develops

over time that have worked well

Objects (Shared

Things)

Talk (Shared

Sayings)

Behavior (Shared

Doings)

Emotion (Shared

Feelings)

Organizational Culture is about . . .

Culture

4

Or, very simply, Organizational Culture is . . .

5

What are Core Values?

The core values of an organization form the foundation on

which individuals perform work and conduct themselves

Operating practices and processes constantly change to improve

but Core Values should be enduring and unchanging

Core Values . . .

Govern personal relationships

Guide business processes

Clarify who we are

Articulate what we stand for

Help explain why we do business the way we do

Direct us on how to teach

Show us how to reward

Lead us in making decisions

Underpin the whole organization

6

When do Values have Value?

Values have value only when:

they are commonly understood

they are unanimously subscribed to

they are lived by everyone

7

Core Values & Change

To change an organisation

in any significant or lasting way,

you need to change the

VALUES and BELIEFS

that lie at the CORE

8

Major Point about Changing Culture

Changing organizational culture is not like changing clothes

One can change outward appearances, e.g. by giving the organization a new image/logo, organizing staff parties, introducing new processes and models, etc

But, to have a significant and lasting impact, negative values must be discarded and changed

Changing culture is definitely hard to do, and, generally, will take considerable time and effort

9

Weak & Strong Cultures

Staff understand and

respond to culture

Little need for policies

and procedures

Consistent behaviour

Culture is embedded

Strong Little alignment with

business values

Need for extensive

policies/procedures

Inconsistent behaviour

Culture is enforced

Weak

In a strong work culture, most people in the organization agree on the culture.

When it is weak, they do not

A weak organizational culture can be the result of many subcultures

Each department or work group may have its own culture. Within

departments, the staff and managers may each have their own culture

10

Culture is Learned

People learn to perform certain

behaviors through either rewards or

negative consequences that follow

their behavior

When a behavior is rewarded, it is

repeated and the association

eventually becomes part of the culture

A simple thank you from a supervisor

for work performed well, molds the

culture

Employees learn culture by interacting

with other employees as most

behaviors involve other employees

11

Organizational Culture Transformation Program

Transformation Program

covers the development of

Wrong approaches to select Core Values

CEO or Management decides

the Core Values without other

staff involvement

Involve staff but select core

values based on ranking or

number of “likes” from a given

list of core values

Core Values created from

company acronym or word e.g.

TIGER - Trust, Innovative,

Growth, Excellence, Respect

without fear or favor

• We firmly adhere to a strict ethical and moral code, demonstrating the highest

standard of behavior, taking ownership to do things right and accountable for

all our actions

• We strictly adhere to a standard of value or conduct, personal honesty and

independence

the right thing at the right time for the right reason

16

Value Descriptor

A value element or term that serves to describe and identify the Value

Specify the “observable and actionable behavior“ that are required for each required Value at the different commitment levels

How everyone in the Organization should understand, interpret and explain it

Can be used to measure and rate the demonstration of behavior of the Value

17

5 Levels Commitment Measurement

Role-Model

I am guided by the core values in everything I

do, even when no one is watching and I will

set an example that others want to follow

LEVEL 4

High Compliance

I see the benefits in practicing the core

values and I will do more than expected

LEVEL 3
