Corporate Cultures – Culture-based Work Performance Model

In, Culture’s Impact on How Work Gets Done, we described the profound influence an organization’s collective values have on the controls (individual knowledge and skills, standards and expectations, processes and procedures) and triggers (individual contributors, first line managers and supervisors, executives and senior managers) that determine what work is undertaken and the manner in which it is performed. Therefore, observations of an organization’s unique work controls and triggers preferences can be used to reveal many of the characteristics of its culture. And from these the benefits and risk factors an organization faces as a result of its culture.

Corporate Cultures – Culture’s Impact on How Work Gets Done

Corporate Cultures – Culture Trumps Strategy

Culture is hard to quantify but its impact on business operations is unmistakable. Even the well-conceived strategy cannot withstand the onslaught of a counter focused culture. In order for a strategy to be implementable, it must be formulated to work within the confines of the corporate culture. Alternatively, the corporate culture must be changed before the strategy is implemented… typically a years long process.

Diversity and Inclusion – What is Diversity and Inclusion?

“Diversity and inclusion exists when members of an organization act in a manner that recognizes and respects individual similarities and differences such that employees feel they and their work are valued and meaningfully contribute to the mission of the organization.”

StrategyDriven Contributors

A diverse and inclusive work environment can only exist when members of an organization act in a manner that respects employee similarities and differences such that employees feel they and their work are valued and meaningfully contribute to the mission of the organization. It is in this kind of environment that employees become engaged and motivated to contribute the full extent of their knowledge, skills, and experience to the benefit of the organization on a day-to-day basis. Because they feel valued, employees within a diverse and inclusive work environment are less likely to seek employment opportunities elsewhere; subsequently reducing attrition and its associated productivity knowledge, and social cost.
