Innovateculture

Culture is a kind of organizational competency; it is something a company can be good, better, or worse at.

Modern societies are complex, understanding that real-world development is multifaceted. The dynamic ecosystem can be perceived through the lenses of sociology, psychology, culturology, the economics of education, and communication sciences, etc. 

Culture is collective mindsets, attitudes, and behaviors. When the company grows, this corporate culture tends to stay the same over time; that is culture inertia. Changing the culture takes incredible efforts, in part because culture is a byproduct of every facet of an organization and human behaviors.

Organization with the culture of empowerment will reap the benefits of high productivity, high performance, and high-intelligence: Culture has context and its relative to the group of people that follow it or share a common set of beliefs, look at culture through the lens of people's interaction with one another in an organization. Organization structure plays either positive or negative impact on business culture and effectiveness. It’s important to fine-tune an organizational structure with strategic agility, and build a high performance workforces to demonstrate changeability and practice creativity to achieve more.

If your culture embraces the future, inspiring and empowering people to make differences, being customer-centric; then it forms the environment in which people can grow freely and businesses are able to initiate desired changes frictionlessly. There are some key characteristics to build an open culture, assembling a highly innovative team with all sorts of talent and skills, from sowing the seed of creativity to accelerating high performance. Sometimes, culture becomes an obstacle to achieve high performance. If you have this kind of challenge ahead of you today, listen to the organization; change your collective attitude and behavior; try something new; act, inspire positive change in those around you, and develop the culture of empowerment.

Culture can be changed on purpose, and needs to be changed to adapt to the emerging trends and pull strategy execution towards the right decision:
You cannot consider culture as one element of the strategy execution unless you can identify the layers of corporate cultures. If the need for a strategy change stemmed from the inside of the organization, culture would have been the prime mover and strategy would have to follow. If the strategy doesn't find a good culture to enable it, that strategy stands a small chance of being successfully implemented.

A team’s collective behaviors and intelligence are rooted in its organizational structure. Culture has context and it’s relative to the group of people that follow it or share a common set of beliefs, such as a specialized set of skills or principles. Hence, changing the culture to fit the strategy is tough because often culture changes slowly. The drivers of culture are processes, structures, people, incentives, etc, which are the same drivers of strategy execution. So it takes a lot of planning, designing, and acting to initiate culture changes and make the desired culture sustainable.

Organizational culture is "learned, knowable”; it is a crucial aspect of developing solid business capabilities: Culture represents the box in which decisions and actions occur; culture is the collective mindset behind changes. It becomes the way we discover ourselves, do business to delight customers. As an organization with an excellent culture is arguably capable of building differentiated competencies. Culture is a socially transmitted process involving collective values which drive core and sustainable business conversations, so leadership and middle management need to engage in and enhance accountability.

In many organizations which get stuck at the low level of business maturity, avoid these capability and culture gaps such as, inability to build momentum and increase the tempo of operations; a waste of resource, talent time, emotional energy invested in business initiatives, misalignment of capabilities and strategies; lacking agility to thrive and survive. Look at both tangible - the quantitative result, but do not ignore the intangibles - culture factor. Building a culture-savvy organization is important for the long term success of the business.

Culture is a kind of organizational competency; it is something a company can be good, better, or worse at. Culture is something a company does; it's a set of understanding, attitudes and behaviors that are closer or further from an ideal. Culture is changeable, and the speed of culture change can be expedited as the world becomes more hyper-connected and interdependent.
