Your culture is your real competitive advantage.
At Naman, we work with you to ensure your culture becomes your biggest business driver. Today and tomorrow.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Attributed to Peter Ducker and popularized by Mark Fields, this sentence is as true today as it was when first spoken. It truly underscores the importance of culture in an organisation.
But what is culture?
At Naman, we think of culture as…
“… the underlying beliefs, assumptions, values, and ways of interacting that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of an organisation. It’s a manifestation of what the organisation believes in and the way it conducts itself. ”
Why should leaders and HR care about something as intangible as culture?
Wondering if there is an evidence-based approach to quantify your organisation’s culture and measure its impact?
Of course!
Can you really change an organisation’s culture?
Of course, it takes time to alter how people think, feel, and behave. But, it is certainly possible to take concerted steps to move culture in the right direction. After all, cultures evolve over time – sometimes slipping backward, sometimes progressing – the best you can do is work with and within them, rather than fight them. What that means is to truly make an effort to:
Because that is exactly what Cultural Change is.
It’s a process through which an organisation educates and encourages employees to adopt behaviors and mindsets that are consistent with its values and new goals.
At Naman, we’ve found that almost every enterprise that has attained peak performance across the world (Apple, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Tata Consulting, Google, Mahindra, Flipkart) got there by being ferociously focused on their culture. On what it currently is and how it needs change to push their aggressive growth plans.
Is your organisation going through a change? New ways of working? Or a new management?
It’s definitely the right time to bring about a small cultural shift to inspire the best in your people. What and how?
