109: Analysing culture

It’s often the way that the culture of an organisation is taken for granted and can become invisible to us, particularly after having worked within it for some time.Last week, I spoke of culture and strategy and how important an understanding of culture can be for the successful implementation of strategic plans.In this episode, I help you initiate the process of analysing your school's culture. I give you an overview of six useful elements of change from the Cultural Web analytical tool, developed by Johnson and Scholes in 1992. I invite you to listen to my thoughts on how best to start the analysis of your organisation’s cultural web and the steps to take once you have this information.References and resourcesWhittington, Richard, et al. Exploring Strategy. United Kingdom, Financial Times Prentice Hall, 2010.Catch up with previous relevant episodes: Episode 52: Mastering the SWOT analysis www.consultjuliet.co.uk/052Episode 48: Scanning your environment www.consultjuliet.co.uk/048Work with Juliet Corbett www.consultjuliet.co.uk/servicesThank you so much for listening to The Independent School Podcast.
