Training content
Any time an organization wants to refresh its self-image, operating model, or strategic direction looking at the current and future culture is a great place to start. By culture we mean the sum and substance of the story the organization tells about itself, the manner they choose to organize and operate, what key stakeholders believe about the organization, and the behaviors that are expected, supported, and or tolerated. This happens at the organization as well as the individual level.
This chart reveals this in two, interconnected levels:

The common practice is to come up with a new story, i.e., how we have changed, what new things we are tackling, or old things we are letting go of. The next common step then is to communicate like crazy to convince everybody that this change is significant, real, necessary, etc. You may have sat through a series of these with your organization.
It is hard for people to change their beliefs based on a “promised” change. It is confusing when the messaging indicates change, but business is conducted, conversations are held, rewards are distributed as usual.
Successful, agile organizations instead look to change how they work to align to the new story. This sheds a light on the gap between the old story and the new one. It helps distinguish what has to be added, what has to be eliminated, and what needs to be preserved. Maybe the organization needs to move faster, add new services, or sever old ties. This illuminates what has to change in a more concrete fashion.
