Culture
If culture is "the way we do things around here", do you understand how the culture works in your organsiation?
For example, did you know that knowledge workers spend 80% of their time communicating - this includes time spent in meetings, on email and interacting with colleagues.
Does the culture in your organsiation facilitate meaningful communication and what steps could be taken to make it even more effcetive?

MEASUREMENT
There is a common misconception that “culture can’t be measured”.
However, at the centre of this model is the idea of Measurement - every aspect can be measured as you drill down into the specifics.
