Does culture affect your change management strategy?
Mar 16th
We think it should. We practice this in Liveware Inc. While most consultants adjust a single basic strategy, akin to having a single life cycle, we use tools in agreement with the culture. Understanding what the culture is becomes a big part of the diagnosis. With the accumulation of years and experience it has become almost a sixth sense for me, but if I have to help someone come up to speed, I use a model. The model is the Conflicting Values Framework and it comes with a tool, the OCAI. I have nothing to do with the tool or the model, so this is free and disinterested advertisement from which I benefit in no way.
