Culture: The Key to Organizational Agility
October 18, 2017 - La Crosse, WI
Session Description:
In the language of sociotechnical organization design, every organization is a composite of the technical system by which it does its work, and the social system by which it governs the conduct of its work. In other words, every organization is the product of its processes and its culture. The degree of an organization’s agility, then, is the product of the agility of its processes and the agility of its culture. In fact, experience teaches us that it is the organization’s culture that is the key to its agility. Yet, while designing and maintaining agile processes is an engineering discipline that is well understood, designing and maintaining an agile culture is a leadership discipline that is not well understood.
This presentation will introduce field-tested models to better understand:
-
What an organizational culture is.
- How it fits into the organizational ecosystem, diagnose its current state and design a desired state.
- The forces that, by design or by default, influence the reinforcement of its current state or its movement toward some future state.
