Definition of culture
6. Culture is what we do without asking.
https://hbr.org/2011/03/culture-trumps-strategy-every
7. Culture is made of habits that people find familiar and
comfortable. When people do things instinctively and
repetitively, we talk about culture.
Example
When people, who work for company x, consistently listen to
people, who talk, until they have finished saying what they want
to say, listening is a key part of the communication culture.

8. Culture is the learned or shared knowledge,
beliefs, traditions, customs, rules, arts, history,
folklore and institutions of a group of people
used to interpret experiences and to generate
social behaviour.

Organizational culture represents the
psychological assets of the organization
that predict its material assets 5
years from now.
11. The notion that behavior change leads to attitude change can
be traced back to the 1950s, to psychologist Leon Festinger and
his theory of cognitive dissonance.
Festinger argued that when people are induced to act in new
ways, even if those new behaviors feel unfamiliar or wrong at
first, their need for consistency will gradually affect the way they
think and feel. They will seek out reasons to justify their new
actions - both rationally and emotionally.

12. Culture is learned and shared ways of
behaving appropriately in social settings.

13. Corporate cultures are moved not by
what top managers say or write, but
by who they are and what they do.
Hofstede, Geert: Cultures and Organizations, p. 376.
16. It is much easier to change the way
people do things than change values
people have / change the way people think.

17. A resources company in the Middle East was seeking to
make its workplace safer. To change the way people do
things, a clean-up-event was organized. Picking up
trash helped people develop care for each other and helped
them speak up when they noticed an unsafe situation.
The change in behaviour helped change values of people.
