CULTURE JOURNEY NAVIGATION

There is a lot said about culture, and many culture assessment tools, and improvement approaches are available. We have experienced how many Organisations identify the need and then execute on some form of culture “improvement” intervention, however, most fail or only work for a short period of time. Perhaps the reason why these initiatives fail is that culture doesn’t eat strategy for breakfast.

The Ovations Business Alignment Model describes how strategy sets the direction of the organisation, the value proposition guides the Business Model (where the magic happenings), which is in turn enabled by the Strategic Value Chain and Operating Model. The latter components are supported by leadership alignment and people performance, and culture is the glue that keeps these components together.
