Most likely your organization’s performance is being hindered – and perhaps seriously threatened – by weakness in these cultural areas. Define your organization’s performance targets and immediately focus on moving the needle within those cultural areas driving those goals CULTURAL ATTENTION REQUIRED – While your organization has some cultural strength, this has probably occurred by accident rather than through targeted cultural development. Continued cultural work in targeted areas will be required to create a healthy, strong and sustainable business for a changing world CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES – Your organization clearly had some important cultural strengths – which you have either consciously developed or have naturally directed. Those strengths will serve as your resource and support as you target your culturally weak areas going forward. CULTURAL STRENGTH – Congratulations. Your organization is standing on a strong foundation of cultural strength. The question now becomes, is your cultural strength in precisely the areas which will drive the performance you are seeking? Remember, your continual attention to culture will be required to sustain this health and strength going forward. 3 Adapted from www.jacksonandschmidt.com …
