what is your understanding of culture change and why do you think it is important in long-term care organizations? Also, think about some barriers to successful culture change in an organization.
Ans) The culture of an organization is practically its DNA. Culture determines how everything else in the organization unfolds. As Peter Drucker said: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”
- The organization and its culture are reciprocal and interdependent: the organization, its design and strategies influence its overall culture and vice versa.
- An organization’s culture reflects its deepest values and
beliefs. Trying to change it can call into question everything the
organization holds dear, often without that conscious
intention
The culture of an organization is embedded in the entire
organizational system. Each little change effects every layer of
that system
Organizational culture evolves over time. An organization’s
identity is based on its culture, which is deeply linked to its
history and development.
- Changing culture is a bit like changing the course of a large ship – it takes time to man oeuvre and whilst the engines are pushing one way the tides and winds are pushing another
- In sum, the culture of an organization creates its unique, complex face and character. As such, it is as difficult to change in its entirety as the whole personality of a human being or that of a nation.
Changing a culture is a large-scale undertaking, and eventually all of the organizational tools for changing minds will need to be put in play. Let’s not forget that organizational culture is like an iceberg with most of its weight and bulk below the surface.
