Culture Facilitator

Every organisation has a dominant culture that is rooted and established in traditions, systems and practices. People are likely to resist, reject, or sit on the fence whenever you introduce something new if it looks or feels strange, uncomfortable or non-cognizant. One of the reasons for this is that the dominant culture is entrenched over time through a set of values that most adhere to and are formed by habit. Paying attention to this topic is crucial because culture produces results. To introduce a major change effort successfully means you will need to be a facilitator to create the culture that you want to see. But how will you know if the change effort will require a significant shift in the community’s culture?
