CULTURE
AS AN ACTIVE PLAYER
When
major activities are to be introduced to the organisation
or parts of
the organisation, like restructuring or change of strategy, which
significantly influences the way the
|
organisation
used to work, the organisational culture is a player which has to
be taken into consideration.
Evaluation of the company culture is a key element in any proper
formulation of a change strategy.

DOES
THE CULTURE WORK FOR OR AGAINST YOUR INTENTIONS ?
Once
all the good thinking has been done and the direction for change is
clear, the next step is implementation. There may be elements in your
culture, which can accelerate the organisational development and thus
form the base for the implementation. However, you may also be faced
with the fact that parts of your business culture work against your
intentions. You may reconsider the way ahead because the obstacles are
too big - or you may wish to change parts of the culture.

The
Culture
Evaluation Programme can
describe your present culture and evaluate it against your intentions.
It will help you find answers to essential questions such as:
• Which
cultural elements will enhance or inhibit the implementation?
• What is
the desired culture?
• Which
activities and processes may facilitate a change of culture, and how can
they be integrated in day-to-day management of the business?
The
identification of cultural elements will be through individual and group
interviews with a representative number of stakeholders. Testing and
confirmation of findings will be through group discussions and Web-based questionnaires.
