Think about these considerations to make culture change easier in your organization:
- Culture is “how we do things.” If behavior doesn’t change, culture won’t.
- The culture is a control system – for better and worse.
- Culture is shaped by incentives; and these can influence behaviors.
- Culture helps employees make sense of what’s happening, especially in times of change.
- Culture is a key source of shared identify and views of the organization.
- Culture is your organization’s immune system.
- Organizational culture is shaped by societal culture.
- Never monolithic, culture is always multi-layered.
- Culture is dynamic and flexible.
- Culture is resilient.
