1 year, 5 months agoHi,I would like to understand that from your experience, what challenges do you commonly see arising when trying to build or reshape organizational culture, and how can they be addressed?
-
There is one single challenge that comes in the way – mindset towards maintaining the status quo and resistance to change… that’s probably because people take pride in retaining what they have been believing and practicing for long…

This can be addressed by creating a mutual ground and by way of carefully selecting what we want to retain, what we want to bring in as a new dimension…. sensitivity and sensibility are the keys to get people aligned

Right, Can you share examples of successful culture-building initiatives?

Several examples… can’t name the organizations here… one multi naitional company failed to integrate an Indian acquisition because they couldn’t provide a rationale for ‘change’… something like diversity and inclusion – legacy workforce looked at it as an intentional discrimination against the ole timers… it was then the initiative was redefined, strategy and intent was communicated post which there was an acceptance…

It is always difficult to get the coalition but not impossible… it is more sustainable when people are committed, and the actions are driven by them..

Changing Culture by Design will require what kind of inputs for validating the levers for Change?

First and foremost – we should be in a position to define ‘why’ there is a need to change! Then the ‘who’ part comes and then ‘how’ and ‘when’… customer’s voice, stakeholder’s expectations. changing market dynamics and talent dynamics will provide us with clear inputs for us to be able to define levers for change…

Can we end up becoming prescriptive with Change by Design? or does the Design enable us to create a Vision for Culture Change?
