Creating the Organization of the Future – Part 2: Culture and Values
Part 2 of the 3 part webinar series with Bernie Jaworski
Description:
Values and culture often work hand in hand, they are related but in fact distinct concepts. These internally focused directional choices are essential because they define how the work gets done within the organization. To Peter Drucker, values are to an organization are what vitamins are to human body. Indeed, he argued it is everyone’s responsibility to nurture and evolve the culture. Many firms have well-defined values and culture statement. However, our observation is many of these statements function as nice posters on the wall, instead of making a real impact on how employees think and behave in their daily work.
It is indeed very challenging to align values and culture and make them actionable. Many firms fail to translate values and culture statements into daily behavior because they are too generic and not aligned with strategy. This class will teach you how to set right values and culture that can support your organizations’ specific direction (mission, vision, and purpose), so it can ultimately drive organizational success.
