What is organisational culture?
What culture needs to tell us?
Organisational culture is made up of shared values, beliefs and assumptions
about how people should behave and interact, how decisions should be made
and how work activities should be carried out.
Culture is primarily built by how you WORK together, NOT how you socialize together.
“My wife and I should
never hang wallpaper
together.“
- Carlos Valdes-Dapena
For many organizations,
a common practice is that
they are managed like
machines. In this style of
management, leaders
assume that improvement of
the whole requires
monitoring, repairing, and
replacing the parts.
Reductionism defined
re·duc·tion·ism noun ri-ˈdək-shə-ˌni-zəm
a procedure or theory that reduces
complex data and phenomena to simple
terms
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reductionism
causal
determinism
Command-oriented, low-freedom
management is common because
it’s profitable, it requires less effort,
and most managers are terrified of
the alternative.
- Laszlo Bock, Work Rules!
An organization is a complex adaptive system
(CAS), because it consists of parts (people) that
form a system (organization), which shows complex
behavior while it keeps adapting to a
changing environment.
Complex system theory
enables a descriptive approach
to the study of social systems
How we perceive the relationship between cause and effect…
Chaotic
• indeterminate
• unpredictable
• scope undefine
Complex
• exists
• unpredictable
• unknowns
a little bit about systems theory….
Ordered
• exists
• repeatable
• predictable
Faced with complexity, the
traditional instinct of the practical
manager has been to try to reduce
the complexity through rules of
thumb, standard operating
procedures, and so on.
– Hugo Letiche, Coherence in the Midst of Complexity
Declarative Constraints - Limits
The worst thing we can do is apply the wrong approach in
relation to the nature of the system…
Liberating Constraints
Management and Governance is much simpler when you understand the nature of system...
The minimum boundaries we can set to safeguard business success, in favour of team autonomy, personal creativity and trust.
B = f( P, E )
Culture is one of the best
Liberating Constraints
How do we grow a
great organizational
culture?
How do we create a
work environment
people will be proud
of?
There is no scientific evidence that planned
culture change produces changed culture. The
change can only happen in many, many local
interactions, not through some central plan or
program.
- Ralph Stacey, Complexity and Organizational Reality
Well, not by planning the culture
You don’t create a culture. It happens. This
is why new companies don’t have a
culture. Culture is the by-product of
consistent behavior.
- Jason Fried, ReWork
The trick is to invite and/or discourage
certain behaviors.
You cannot change an organization's culture. What you
can change is the guideposts, transparency, and
boundaries.
B = f( P, E )
Clarity of values can make a significant
contribution toward good behaviors and a
better culture.
Values tell us what to do when no one is watching!
“Step 1”: Create guideposts
Having a values list of intended values
Envision a desired culture and keep iterating
The Big Value List… pick your favourites!
But… are the espoused values
also the enacted values?
The company Enron had the values
integrity, communication, respect,
and excellence displayed in its
corporate lobby.
Did that work for them?
Storytelling
Using stories about how
people actually behave,
compared to the values.
People need to actually see the values being enacted.
“Step 2”
Comparing documented
values with stories of actual
behaviors helps you
reinforce and redefine the
culture, iteratively.
Values
Handbooks /
Culture Books
In some companies,
employees document
espoused values and
culture with a book
or video.
Values
Values
Many organizations hold a yearly
company-wide values day where
everybody is invited […] to revisit the
organization’s purpose, values, and ground
rules and inquire howthey […] live up to
them.
- Frédéric Laloux, Reinventing Organizations
Values Day
The primary function of
leadership is to nurture
culture through values.
“Step 3”
Steer people’s behaviours, call the bad
behaviours, nurture the good ones.
The culture of any
organization is shaped by
the worst behavior the
leader is willing to tolerate.
- Gruenter and Whitaker, School Culture Rewired
Maybe better…
The culture of any
organization is shaped by
the best behavior the
leader is willing to amplify.
At the end of the day, you just ask
yourself, “How did our vision and
values influence decisions I made
today?” If they did not, then they
are pretty much BS.
- Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline

Culture eats everything for breakfast! by Vladimir Kelava

  • 1. Vladimir Kelava Culture eats strategy everything for breakfast.
  • 3. ? ? ? What is organisational culture? What culture needs to tell us?
  • 4. Organisational culture is made up of shared values, beliefs and assumptions about how people should behave and interact, how decisions should be made and how work activities should be carried out. Culture is primarily built by how you WORK together, NOT how you socialize together.
  • 5. “My wife and I should never hang wallpaper together.“ - Carlos Valdes-Dapena
  • 6.
  • 7. For many organizations, a common practice is that they are managed like machines. In this style of management, leaders assume that improvement of the whole requires monitoring, repairing, and replacing the parts.
  • 8. Reductionism defined re·duc·tion·ism noun ri-ˈdək-shə-ˌni-zəm a procedure or theory that reduces complex data and phenomena to simple terms http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reductionism causal determinism
  • 9. Command-oriented, low-freedom management is common because it’s profitable, it requires less effort, and most managers are terrified of the alternative. - Laszlo Bock, Work Rules!
  • 10. An organization is a complex adaptive system (CAS), because it consists of parts (people) that form a system (organization), which shows complex behavior while it keeps adapting to a changing environment.
  • 11. Complex system theory enables a descriptive approach to the study of social systems
  • 12. How we perceive the relationship between cause and effect… Chaotic • indeterminate • unpredictable • scope undefine Complex • exists • unpredictable • unknowns a little bit about systems theory…. Ordered • exists • repeatable • predictable
  • 13. Faced with complexity, the traditional instinct of the practical manager has been to try to reduce the complexity through rules of thumb, standard operating procedures, and so on. – Hugo Letiche, Coherence in the Midst of Complexity
  • 14. Declarative Constraints - Limits The worst thing we can do is apply the wrong approach in relation to the nature of the system…
  • 15. Liberating Constraints Management and Governance is much simpler when you understand the nature of system... The minimum boundaries we can set to safeguard business success, in favour of team autonomy, personal creativity and trust. B = f( P, E )
  • 16. Culture is one of the best Liberating Constraints
  • 17. How do we grow a great organizational culture? How do we create a work environment people will be proud of?
  • 18. There is no scientific evidence that planned culture change produces changed culture. The change can only happen in many, many local interactions, not through some central plan or program. - Ralph Stacey, Complexity and Organizational Reality Well, not by planning the culture
  • 19. You don’t create a culture. It happens. This is why new companies don’t have a culture. Culture is the by-product of consistent behavior. - Jason Fried, ReWork
  • 20. The trick is to invite and/or discourage certain behaviors. You cannot change an organization's culture. What you can change is the guideposts, transparency, and boundaries. B = f( P, E )
  • 21. Clarity of values can make a significant contribution toward good behaviors and a better culture. Values tell us what to do when no one is watching!
  • 22. “Step 1”: Create guideposts Having a values list of intended values Envision a desired culture and keep iterating
  • 23. The Big Value List… pick your favourites!
  • 24. But… are the espoused values also the enacted values?
  • 25. The company Enron had the values integrity, communication, respect, and excellence displayed in its corporate lobby. Did that work for them?
  • 26. Storytelling Using stories about how people actually behave, compared to the values. People need to actually see the values being enacted. “Step 2”
  • 27. Comparing documented values with stories of actual behaviors helps you reinforce and redefine the culture, iteratively. Values
  • 28. Handbooks / Culture Books In some companies, employees document espoused values and culture with a book or video. Values Values
  • 29.
  • 30. Many organizations hold a yearly company-wide values day where everybody is invited […] to revisit the organization’s purpose, values, and ground rules and inquire howthey […] live up to them. - Frédéric Laloux, Reinventing Organizations Values Day
  • 31. The primary function of leadership is to nurture culture through values.
  • 32. “Step 3” Steer people’s behaviours, call the bad behaviours, nurture the good ones.
  • 33. The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader is willing to tolerate. - Gruenter and Whitaker, School Culture Rewired
  • 34. Maybe better… The culture of any organization is shaped by the best behavior the leader is willing to amplify.
  • 35. At the end of the day, you just ask yourself, “How did our vision and values influence decisions I made today?” If they did not, then they are pretty much BS. - Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline
