“Culture” is all the unspoken assumptions a group holds about the world and how it works
Most of the time, you’re not even aware that you’re being influenced by it!
In other words …In other words …
Culture is so strong that people will deny, minimize, ridicule, or dismiss the reality of what they see or experience if it conflicts with their core culture assumptions.
This is where culture gets its real power!

Culture change can be done, but it is a long term (minimum 3-5 years) process
All aspects of the organization must be addressed and aligned with the desired culture: Structure (the organization’s architecture) Symbols (images that reinforce the culture) Systems (e.g., appraisal system, selection systems) Staff (selection, development of human resources) Strategy (behavioral manifestations of organization's vision) Style of leaders (attitudes, examples set by top leaders) Skills of managers (competencies of individuals who carry out the
change process.)

Mental ModelsMental Models
… are the images, assumptions and stories that we carry in our minds of ourselves, other people, institutions and every aspect of the world.
They determine what we see By definition are flawed in some way Below level of awareness
usually untested
Our beliefs are the truth The truth is obvious (to us) Our beliefs are based on real data The data we select are the real data Robert Bly and our large brown bags
GM’s Mental ModelsGM’s Mental Models GM is in the business of making money, not cars Cars are primarily status symbols. Styling,
therefore, is more important than quality The American car market is isolated from the rest of
the world Workers do not have an important impact on
productivity or product quality Everyone connected with the system has no need
for more than a fragmented, compartmentalized understanding of the business

We can’t count on Ken. He is unreliable.
Ken always comes in late.
Ken knew exactly when the meeting was to start. He deliberately came in late.
The meeting was called for 9 a.m. and Ken arrived at 9:30. He didn’t say why he was late.
