Organizational culture is a type of organizational
analysis that is borrowed from the field of anthropology. It first was
described as an organizational unit of concern in 1979. In the short
time since culture and its relevance to organizational systems have been
matters of academic and professional concern, many books and articles
have been written to define and describe the nature of organizational
culture. To date, no single universally accepted definition exists;
however, the term organizational culture generally is accepted as
referring to the shared meanings, beliefs, and understandings held by a
particular group or organization about its problems, practices, and
goals.
AMS has assembled a team of leading executive level
practitioners that facilitate our consulting and training programs
associated with organizational culture. AMS has participated in
Organization Development, Change and Culture projects with clients
internationally. Our teams have the experience and depth needed to
address your most demanding challenges.
The concept of organizational culture is often
misunderstood and confused with the related concepts of climate,
ideology, and style. Culture can be defined in terms of:
-
Overt organizational behavior
-
Organizational ideology and philosophy
-
Group and organizational norms
-
Espoused organizational values
-
Policies, procedures, and rules of socialization
-
Climate
Organizational cultures evolve from the social
practices of members of organizations and are, therefore, socially
created realities that exist in the heads and minds of organizational
members as well as in the formal rules, policies, and procedures of
organizational structures. Culture is an ongoing process of reality
construction, providing a pattern of understanding that helps members of
organizations to interpret events and to give meaning to their working
worlds.
AMS can help your organization, change, stabilize
and/or modify the norms by which the culture is back dropped. Our
change agents will craft a plan to reengineer the culture or help to
align it via goal/value analysis.
AMS can customize any best practice to fit your
organizational needs.
