Either at individual or organization
level?

Organizational Culture
![Page 6: Managing Change through Cultural Change Sara Banki Sharif University of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d705503460f94a52c82/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Culture is Powerful
Culture is powerful for three primary reasons:
1. Because individuals are selected and indoctrinated so well.
2. Because the culture exerts itself through the actions of hundreds of thousands of people.
3. Because all of this happens without much conscious intent and thus is difficult to challenge or even discuss.

There is more to change than tasks. It is what’s below the surface that counts!

![Page 11: Managing Change through Cultural Change Sara Banki Sharif University of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d705503460f94a52c82/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Values define good and
bad, right and wrong
Values define how we
act and what has
priority in the
organization
Organizational Values
![Page 12: Managing Change through Cultural Change Sara Banki Sharif University of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d705503460f94a52c82/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• A value system that does not match the vision
• Failure to match the daily organizational reality
• No longer relevant or obsolete• Inconsistently applied
Values have their own share of problems

What is said is not always done. Look for values in action not values on paper.
Examine the Actual Values
![Page 15: Managing Change through Cultural Change Sara Banki Sharif University of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d705503460f94a52c82/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It is hard to put a value system in place when the values are not applied in a consistent fashion
Values Inconsistently Applied

You need to define what success looks like in the new organization and develop and align new role models (or bring on board the old ones)

Anchoring Change in a Culture
Comes last, not first: Most alterations in norms and shared values come at the end of the transformation process.
Depends on results: New approaches usually sink into a culture only after it’s very clear that they work and are superior to old methods.
![Page 28: Managing Change through Cultural Change Sara Banki Sharif University of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d705503460f94a52c82/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Anchoring Change in a Culture
Requires a lot of talk: Without verbal instruction and support, people are often reluctant to admit the validity of new practices.
Many involve turnover: Sometimes the only way to change a culture is to change key people.
Makes decision on succession crucial: If promotion processes are not changed to be compatible with the new practices, the old culture will reassert itself.
