When examining an organization’s culture, four components need to be considered:
1) Strategic Focus: A clear, strategic focus keeps an organization on track to meet its goals.
2) Capable Processes: Documented processes provide efficient, consistent products, services and ways of working that drive down cost and improve outputs.
3) Flexible & Agile: Change is constant and necessary. Successful companies listen. Dynamic customer wants, trends, financial and market conditions and competition make it imperative to quickly understand and adapt to change faster and better than the competition.
4) Employee Engagement: More than ever, people today want to be part of something special. Leadership must provide empowered employees the environment, tools, information and freedom to excel.
These four core concepts fit together to complete the puzzle that measures culture in hard business terms.
