What is organizational culture and why is it important?
An organization’s culture represents the energy to either “stay put” or to “move forward”; it’s a combination of both explicit and implicit norms and behaviors. Culture also includes assumptions, values, and beliefs.
Culture is at the center of the Change & Transformation triangle because without a deliberate assessment of the current culture and a clearly articulated design of the intended culture, the overall execution of the Change or Transformation strategy will almost surely fall short.

Culture is also shaped by things such as:
- What gets rewarded
- Norms of working together collaboratively, or not
- The “organization chart” – reporting structures
- The nature of relationships with clients and customers
