“Changing the way we do things around here” The challenge of organisational culture change to improve performance is difficult. It incorporates so many elements, many of which are deep rooted in history. Positive culture change is about building a culture where respect, trust and commitment is present throughout the organisation.
Is Culture Change Needed?
Unfortunately where respect, trust and commitment have been tarnished, organisations are likely to suffer. If you experience any of the following, there maybe culture issues to address:
- Staff not contributing ideas
- Employees only doing what is asked
- Majority of staff using up their sick pay
- A department having high staff turnover
- The atmosphere could be cut with a knife
- Poor cooperation between departments….the list of symptoms is endless!
Measuring Culture in my Organisation
Identifying the need for Culture Change is the first step to developing a winning culture. Ithaka is pleased to introduce the Amici Culture tool which enables an organisation to measure it’s overall culture and that within departments and staff groupings. Using a 360 online questionnaire, and in depth capture of the culture enables an action plan for culture change to be developed. Amici can measure a small organisations culture and equally be used in an organisation with 15,000 + employees e.g. Local Authority
Ithaka Leadership, as an Amici Licensed Practitioner, works with you to develop a comprehensive organisational culture change plan and provide support to assist your team to lead the culture change. Please call us on 0845 496 4548 to arrange an appointment.
