Organizational culture change process

Are you thinking about organizational culture change? When things are not going well—for example, good employees are leaving, commitment seems lacking, productivity is not up to par—an organization needs to make some changes. So where do you start?

Most companies make isolated changes. Such changes may work if a simple remedy is clear. But these simple remedies are often just a temporary patch. Instead, the smarter strategy is to examine the culture of the organization.

Use a culture-defining and alignment process for effective organizational culture change

How do you incorporate change through a culture-defining and alignment process? The steps for organizational culture change are simple.

• Firstly, the organization clarifies the desired values. That is, the Core Culture principles and values. To understand the process, go to this link.
• Secondly, everyone reviews current practices.
• And then they create plans for more effectively living the Core Culture principles. Through this process, employees understand the expectations for behavior. Any behaviors that are not in sync with the core values are seen as a gap that must be remedied.

Include everyone in the process

Many believe that organizational culture change is an impossible process. But when employees participate in defining and molding the culture to enhance the organization’s ability to succeed, then the changes that emerge are easier to implement.

Now is the time to bring needed change to your company. Let change management really be a process of defining your Core Culture, auditing your Practices and Projections, and executing a plan to live the Core Culture principles and values better each and every day. Bring change from the inside out.
