What is the culture pyramid?
How can you see an organization?
Organizational culture is a set of consistent patterns, people follow for communicating, thinking and acting – It is grounded on shared values and assumptions.
- How do people get support for initiatives and win recognition?
- How does “the world” works?
It can be described as a pyramid:
Different parts of the organization have different parts of the puzzle.
Business orientation:
- The company as a whole not just your specific role
- Products/brands
- Operating model
- Evaluating systems
- Planning and performance
Coherent Logic:
- Mission, visions, and strategy
- Components: Functional plans, Markets, Products, Technology, and Goals
- Do the various dimensions support each other?
In order to conduct a strategic analysis, you may use the following framework:
SWOT/(TOWS):
- Assess External Environment
- Opportunity
- Threat

- Strengths
