Stories as the Currency of Culture
How do you know there has been a cultural shift in the organisation you work for? How would you write a business case to determine the benefits of investing in culture change work? Why does culture matter and how can we prove it? These are the questions I’ve been asked in the past when working as a consultant, coach or facilitator in businesses.
Square Pegs And Sharks’ Teeth
Brian (not his real name) and I hit it off from our very first meeting. He was new into a very large, established organisation, having spent almost all his career in smaller, fast growing businesses and I was asked to help his transition with some coaching. Brian’s boss, who I knew well, was very happy that we built such strong rapport straight away. The HR business partner was delighted that our coaching contract was agreed so quickly. The budget was in place, the schedule and logistics were all sorted. The only tiny problem was that Brian should never have joined the organisation and none of us knew it.
