Culture-Values Link, A practical approachAdam Filler
This document discusses the link between organizational culture and values. It makes three key points:
1. Organizational culture is difficult to change directly, as culture is created by people, not organizations. Leaders must focus on influencing individual behaviors and attitudes to transform culture over time.
2. Core organizational values have a strong influence on employee behaviors and attitudes. Common business values include fairness, innovation, and social responsibility. Case studies show how values shape behaviors within organizations.
3. There are two perspectives on transformational change - an organizational one that requires strategic planning and project management, and a personal one where individuals must understand why change is needed and commit to new behaviors. Both are required for successful cultural transformation.
The document discusses the Denison Culture Survey, which assesses organizational culture and has been linked to various performance measures, and how the Corporate Learning Institute (CLI), with over 30 years of experience working with organizations, can help companies utilize the survey to analyze their culture and identify areas for improvement in order to increase performance. CLI provides a suggested roadmap for administering the Denison Culture Survey, analyzing and acting on the results, and evaluating progress through follow up assessments.
Organizational behavior in organization (Corvit)Areeba Gill
The document discusses Corvit Networks, a group of young, motivated individuals who are expected to make sincere efforts to create a healthy work environment. They require a code of conduct of integrity, respect, and responsibility that all workers must follow. The organization has mostly workers aged 25 to 30, with a few over 30 and a maximum age of 39. It also discusses Corvit's ethics of appreciating talented workers from different religions despite being Muslim. Additional topics covered include organizational culture dimensions, emotions affected by workplace events, problems Corvit faces like lack of communication and structure, and potential solutions such as streamlining management and giving employees a greater voice.
The Denison Culture Model is a way of looking at an organization to identify, codify and understand organizational culture. This overview sums up the model.

The study investigates how four organizational culture traits (involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission) interact to affect firm financial performance. The researchers found that consistency has variable effects - it is positively related to performance when the other traits are high, but sometimes negatively related when the other traits are low. Specifically, consistency has a more positive effect on market-to-book ratio and sales growth when adaptability and mission are high. But consistency has a negative or diminished effect on these metrics when the other traits are low.

Only ethical leadership Can ensure successArvind Rai
The document discusses the importance of ethical leadership for organizational success. It defines ethics, morals, and values, and explains how they relate. Ethical leadership is described as creating opportunities through honorable means. An ethical leader must have certain qualities and their leadership can be measured using an ethical scorecard that evaluates factors like finances, customers, learning and growth, internal processes, and social responsibility. In the long run, organizational success depends on both financial and non-financial (ethical) factors. Having strong ethics establishes a solid foundation and pillars that ensure stability over short and long terms. In today's dynamic economy, companies must maintain high ethics to sustain customer trust and loyalty. Overall, the document argues that only ethical leadership can lead to

How seam can be a solution for employee engagementBob Randall
Two approaches to organization development (OD) link the social health of organizations to the economic performance of organizations. Employee engagement research shows a correlation between the level of engagement among employees in organizations and the employee turnover, the organization’s ability to grow and bottom line results. Meanwhile, the Socio-Economic Approach to Management (SEAM) links organizational dysfunction to hidden costs and the ability of the organization to develop human potential.
Today's leaders are expected to involve and empower their employees, be visible, act with integrity, and be accountable. Effective leadership in changing times requires an adaptive work culture that is collaborative and puts the mission first through a results-oriented team approach where all celebrate success together. Crucial personal qualities for leaders include high ethics, energy, priority-setting, courage, dedication, creativity, goal-orientation, passion, a desire to help others grow, and hiring, developing or praying for winners.

This document discusses how company values can impact business performance when integrated into the organizational culture. It begins by introducing the author and his background in organizational development. The main points covered include: reviewing evidence that values aligned with innovation, integrity, respect and quality correlate with strong financial performance; examining examples of value statements from successful companies like Zappos and Google; and emphasizing that values only drive results when they are lived daily and guide decision-making, not just written on paper. The document stresses that values must be reinforced through hiring, training, communication, rewards and leadership behaviors to truly shape the organizational culture and impact business outcomes.
This document discusses strategies for management and organizational culture at a shipping company called "The Healthy Environment" with 50 employees and 17 vessels. It analyzes the company's current organizational characteristics and culture dimensions and makes suggestions for improvement. Specifically, it recommends increasing flexibility and innovation by focusing on teamwork over individual achievements, rewarding risk-taking, and decreasing bureaucracy. This will help create a more competitive environment and efficient workflow to support the company's goal of growing its fleet to 23 vessels. In addition, managers should promote employee individuality and new ideas while judging performance based solely on goal achievement.
In this day and age, global organizations have to place utmost importance to their employees who would be working virtually from anywhere in the world. It is important that the cultural fabric is based on uncompromising values that stand the test of times.
This document discusses how leaders can build values-driven organizations by reducing cultural entropy. It defines cultural entropy as unnecessary or unproductive work that prevents peak performance and causes employee stress and frustration. High cultural entropy is linked to low employee engagement. The document recommends that leaders measure their current culture, desired culture, and personal entropy to identify misalignments. Transforming the culture involves addressing employee needs by reducing sources of conflict, friction and frustration through changes to structures, systems, policies and developing leaders who express less fear-driven energy. Developing a deliberately developmental organization can help engage employees by supporting their personal growth.

Organizational culture refers to shared meanings and understandings within an organization that distinguish it from other organizations. Common elements of culture include innovation, stability, attention to detail, and aggressiveness. Culture defines boundaries, provides identity, facilitates commitment, and serves as a control mechanism. Strong cultures can act as barriers to change, diversity, and mergers. Culture is created through hiring, socialization, and leader role modeling and sustained through selection, socialization, and top management behavior.
Corporate values articulate what guides an organization’s behavior and decision making. They can boost innovation, productivity, and credibility, and help deliver thereby sustainable competitive advantage. However, a look at typical statements of corporate values suggests much work remains to be done before organizations draw real benefits from them.
Organization culture refers to shared meanings and understandings within an organization that distinguish it from other organizations. There are seven common elements of organizational culture including innovation, stability, attention to detail, outcome orientation, people orientation, team orientation, and aggressiveness. Culture defines boundaries, provides identity, facilitates commitment, acts as social glue, and serves as a sense-making mechanism. Strong cultures can act as barriers to change, diversity, and mergers. Culture is created through hiring, socialization, and role modeling of founders and later develops through selection, leadership behavior, and further socialization.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation about the need and relevance of values in management. It discusses how values provide important guidelines for behavior and influence attitudes. There are different types of values, such as instrumental values and terminal values. Values are different than facts in that values represent personal beliefs about what is good, while facts are objective statements. The document also outlines the importance of values for organizations in contributing to shared meaning and culture, and how values are relevant for managers in decision-making and social responsibility.
This document discusses key concepts in organizational culture and the external environment. It defines organizational culture as shared meanings and beliefs held by members that influence their actions. Strong cultures have coherent values that guide employee behavior. The external environment comprises factors outside an organization that influence its performance. Managers must consider stakeholders and deal with environmental uncertainty. How well a culture adapts to its environment affects organizational success.
Organizational culture is shaped by several key factors, including founders and owners, goals and values, management style, history and traditions. Culture is created and sustained through employee selection, socialization, and top management actions which establish norms. Values represent guiding principles and drive strategic planning by defining what is right and wrong for an organization. A strong organizational culture can enhance performance and satisfaction by providing clarity around problem-solving and channeling desired behaviors.
Culture, leadership, and ethics are interconnected foundations for organizational success. Defining and shaping culture involves identifying shared values and principles to guide the company. Leaders play a crucial role by setting the tone and modeling desired behaviors that foster collaboration and accountability. Maintaining a culture requires measuring factors like employee engagement and turnover, and making changes by evaluating challenges, building consensus on a vision, and clear communication.
The document discusses organizational culture and change. It defines organizational culture as the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors that develop within a group and influence member conduct. An organization's unique culture provides guidelines for member behavior. The document also describes different types of organizational cultures, such as create, collaborate, control, and compete cultures. Additionally, it outlines characteristics of culture like innovation and teamwork. The document defines organizational change as alterations to structures, roles, and behaviors. External pressures like technological advances and internal pressures can drive organizational change.
1. The document discusses organizational culture and describes it as a shared belief system among members that guides behaviors and decision making.
2. It states that organizational culture is implicit rather than explicit, exists on multiple levels, and is complex, prescribing the right way to do things.
3. Creating a value-based culture requires interventions by HR to disrupt the status quo and change the organization through planned actions that build things like trust and transparency.
This document discusses the concept of human capital at the individual, team, organizational, and societal levels. It provides frameworks for understanding human capital, including competencies, skills, motivation, and productivity. It also discusses topics like organizational development, change management, leadership, and performance management in the context of developing an organization's human capital. The goal is to achieve sustainable business excellence, competitiveness, human well-being, and organizational direction and philosophy through investing in learning, innovation, and developing an organization's most important asset - its people.
Corporate culture is defined as the set of key behaviors, beliefs and understandings shared by members of an organization. It establishes basic values and communicates the proper way to think and act. There are different models of corporate culture, including flexibility, control, roles, goals and soul-based models. Cultural fit is important as it engages employees and leads to better performance outcomes when present. Culture is created through symbols, stories, rituals and shared interpretations, and exploring it through interviews can provide insight. Constructive cultures tend to be more effective by promoting exchange and contributions from members.
Getting your shift together making sense of organizational culture and changeDani
The document discusses the importance of measuring organizational culture and outlines a process for doing so. It notes that 75% of change initiatives fail due to cultural issues. Measuring culture can help identify positive and negative cultural aspects to enhance success. A quantitative and qualitative approach provides a clear picture of the current culture and its impact. The process involves assessing key cultural dimensions like leadership, communication, and decision-making to develop a plan for cultural change.
Organizational culture refers to the values, expectations, and practices that guide employee behavior within a company. A positive culture improves performance while a dysfunctional one hinders organizations. Culture is defined by consistent behaviors rather than mission statements. It affects all aspects of a business from employee satisfaction to performance. Companies with strong, values-aligned cultures attract top talent and outperform competitors. They prioritize culture from day one by hiring for culture fit and reinforcing values. High-performing cultures exhibit qualities like alignment, appreciation, trust, teamwork, integrity and innovation. Leaders must advocate for and embody the culture while employees are given opportunities to provide feedback and continuously learn and develop.
The document discusses organizational culture and its characteristics. It describes how culture forms within organizations through the actions of founders and is maintained through socialization, stories, rituals and other means. Culture influences performance and satisfaction. Different types of culture like ethical, customer-responsive and spiritual cultures are explored.

Presentation at SSE, May 15, 2014: "Financial Reporting – too little or too much?"
Do we have a “disclosure problem” in financial reporting for listed entities? If so, is this a problem of information overload or inadequacy?
During 2013 three researchers at the Stockholm School of Economics, initiated a study, supported by the Swedish Enterprise Accounting Group at the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, in order to contribute to this debate. 40 in-depth interviews were conducted with a broad range of experienced users of financial information. Interviewees include buy-side and sell-side analysts working with both equity and credit side analyses. Geographically, the interviewees are active in Sweden, the UK and other European countries along with the US.
The report Decision Usefulness Explored provides a short and timely report of the findings. Exploring what it is that makes financial reports useful, the report addresses what information in financial reports is used, when, how and for what.
At a seminar at the Stockholm School of Economics the findings in the report will be discussed. The objective of the seminar is to contribute to the current debate on the “disclosure problem” and the future of financial reporting for listed entities.

This document summarizes research comparing how mining companies in Sweden and South Africa obtain a social license to operate (SLO). The research examines the choices mining companies make when applying for licenses in Sweden and an ongoing case study of the Sishen mine in South Africa. It discusses definitions of SLO and how companies obtain it by following soft laws and initiatives like CSR policies, local agreements, transparency, and philanthropy. For Sweden, results showed established companies did the minimum while new companies did more. In South Africa, billions have been invested at Sishen but communities have not benefited as intended. Concluding thoughts discuss differences in CSR approaches between the contexts and potential lessons from Sweden.

2. The value of values for
sustainable leadership
-In attracting and retaining talent-
3. Meeting the challenges of our
future…
Sustainability?
Built on three dimensions- the economical, the environmental
and the social dimension. Recognizes the interdependencies
between the three aspects and the need to establish and
maintain a dynamic balance between them.
Sustainable development?
A way of conducting business and ourselves to “meet the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs”.
Sustainable leadership?
”Sustainable leadership empowers leaders and followers to
create lasting local and global value for
environment, society, economy and all stakeholders affected by
his or hers actions (or non-actions) and the actions of the
organization.”
4. Why are values relevant?
• Competitive labour market
• Dependent on your employees as moving
into ”thinking society”
• Attract and retain talent through
differentiation
• Key feature of Employer Branding
• Forming the core of organizational culture
7. Stated vs. lived values
We say…
We do…
If not the same
betrayed, deceived.
Job satisfaction and
commitment
Turnover
rate
8. “Companies need to develop
effective ways of living their values
to attract and retain the next
generation of talented individuals.“
- Linda Gratton, Professor at London Business School
10. The value of values in a sustainable context is
not only relevant in the sense of having
them, using them and living them, it is also
important what kind of values your company
stands for.
The values you as a leader implement or
”inherit” should reflect the strive to promote
sustainability.
11. What values are relevant for
Swedish top talents?
More and more things
are becoming hygiene
factors…
12. So…what value do values
provide?
Living your stated values and achieving person-organisation value
congruence leads to increased job satisfaction and lower turnover
rates.
Values can be a competitive advantage when trying to attract talent.
By implementing sustainable values, sustainable leaders can provide
a behavioural framework that guides the employees in their everyday
work decisions and actions.
Helps to retain employees by giving them a context and meaning with
their job.
Values provide a common ground for further developing a sustainable
organisation.
13. Implications:
Strive for congruence between the employee’s and the
organisation’s values.
Make sure the organisation’s stated and lived values are aligned.
Develop effective ways of living your values to attract and retain the
next generation of talented individuals.
Make sure the values of a new management system correspond
with the prevailing organisational values to avoid inefficiencies with
two parallel systems running.
Leadership will reflect values whether intentional or not. Be aware of
what values your leadership are signalling.
See values and their implementation in a long-term perspectiveallow it to take time.
