Culture Club

The similarities between Boy George and the Organisational Behaviour experts at CCL may be too faint to trace - but CCL is keen on changing organisational culture, and believe it should lie at the heart of the majority of corporate change agendas.

Forbes magazine highlights this in a recent article by CCL senior faculty member John McGuire. He sets out his theme as:

"History shows that change initiatives--realignment, restructuring, re-engineering and the rest--succeed only one time out of every four.

Why so much failure? Because senior leaders blame their organizational problems on faulty structures, systems and processes, and those are the things they try to fix. They are partly right, but there is usually another, more powerful, factor at work too: the company's culture."

before going on to list the five critical elements needed to be addressed to manage such change. Read the article here.
