Culture is the DNA of every organisation.
It's the glue that pulls solutions, services and teams together to deliver value. The interplay that exists between organisational structures and behaviours generate your unique business culture.
Through our unique Culture Helix™, we draw these threads together to provide you with an understanding of the what, where, how and why of your culture so that it can be transformed for optimal impact.
Culture Can Be Reshaped
There are some great myths out there about organisational culture, "it's all about behaviour", "the leader controls the culture "... We've heard them all, but none truly stack up against analysis.
Transactional Analysis, the model of culture we work with, views culture as an output of the interplay between the "structures" within a company and the "dynamics" of the people within it.
By structures, we're referring to anything tangible - ranging from physical workspaces to documented procedures. Things you could put your hands on if you wanted to. Dynamics explores how you can see people behaving.
This interplay between structures and dynamics is how culture gets formed. What and how we structure work -- organise, measure, reward, penalise, and so on -- influences people's behaviour, which in turn re-impacts the structures—company culture forms from the interplay.
Futurecurve Understands the link between Culture and Transformation
To change a company's culture, you need to do more than model good behaviours. You need to explore and identify what exists around both the existing tangible structural elements and the visible behaviours of team members. Only then you can recommend areas for change.
Our Culture Helix™ model takes a methodical, proven approach to explore and identify these elements. With your in-house professionals, we can also help to create and consistently implement the newly identified policies, procedures, etc., that influence behaviour and, in time, change the culture.
