See where you and your colleagues think you and your organisation are on the following cultural ‘ladder’. Use your findings to start a debate in your organisation, and start the process of bringing your culture up to date:
Level 1: Organisation culture is seen as irrelevant to running this organisation.
Level 2: Organisation culture is seen as important, but no effort is made to address it.
Level 3: The organisation has developed or inherited a desired culture statement. But this only hangs on a wall.
Level 4: Individuals have created their own functional culture, which works both for and against the organisation, but there are no plans to review and evolve it.
Level 5: As an organisation, we develop our culture regularly and proactively, and especially when our strategy changes.
- How does your organisation score?
- If low, how much appetite is there among your senior colleagues to change this?
- What would be a good first step?
