“Culture eats strategy for breakfast” - Peter Drucker

Culture

- Dr. David Bray, Exec Director, People-Centered Internet

At the end of the day, when we talk about technology change —whether it’s the Internet of Everything, big data, or machine learning —

it’s really about people and organizationalcultures, first and foremost.

17

- Dr. David Bray, Exec Director, People-Centered Internet

Then it’s about how those people

get stuff done together …

Culture

“A culture is defined as the organisation’s pattern ofresponse to the problems and opportunities itencounters.”

- Dr. Westrum

Other Side Of Innovation

“The most critical issue for organisational safetyis the flow of information.”

“...information will provide the glue that keepsthe team focused and coordinated.”

“The culture, then, represents those habits ofthought and action by changing the culture, virtually

everything can change—trust, openness, confidence, andeven competence.”

Google Project Aristotle • Psychological Safety: refers to an individual’s perception of

the consequences of taking an interpersonal risk• Dependability:members reliably complete quality work on time• Structure and Clarity:individual’s understanding of job

expectations, the process for fulfilling these expectations• Meaning:Finding a sense of purpose in either the work itself or the

output is important for team effectiveness• Impact: results of one’s work, the subjective judgement that your

work is making a difference, is important for teams.
