What exactly is ‘culture’ What shapes ‘culture’ How would you describe the ‘culture’ of your organisation?
what exactly is culture?
a classic definition of ‘culture’ “a pattern of shared basic assumptions that the group learned as it solved its problems of external adaptation and internal integration, that has worked well enough to be considered valid and therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems” edgar schein, organisational culture and leadership, 1993
my definition of culture “the way we do things around here”
what shapes the culture of an organisation?
culture can be shaped by.... • the working environment • geography • organisational ‘history’ • the ‘marketplace’ • the people • systems and processes • policies and procedures • symbols • customs and rituals • leadership
culture can be shaped.... • Consciously / Unconsciously • Deliberately / Accidentally • Positively / Negatively

“the solution isn't sending more information. it's creating meaning” tom peters
how can we create ‘meaning’?
Approach customers with a personalized warm welcome Probe politely to understand all the customer’s needs Present a solution for the customer to take home today Listen for and resolve any issues or concerns End with a fond farewell and an invitation to return
Rub up your customers the wrong way Yes, go on, all the way Apathy is encouraged Never bother to try and make them smile Approach them with indifference Infer it’s them who are the problem Remember, we’re right behind you to help you do this
