The Practice of Distinction

Culture

Culture


Peak Performing Organizations must continually assess:


Is our Culture a driving or a restraining force for change?

  • Does your present Culture really inspire teamwork?
  • Does your Organization attract and retain quality employees?
  • Does your existing Culture promote: problem-solving, creative thinking, accountability, cooperation and learning?
  • Are your present Business Management Systems impacted by pessimistic thinking and/or negative behavior patterns?

CULTURE refers to the norms of an Organization - "the way things are done."  Culture is continually reflected in the patterns of thinking, the patterns of behavior and the resulting communications and actions (if any) that are taken.  An Organization's Culture is deep and complex and based on the shared assumptions and beliefs of its members.  Unfortunately, these assumptions and beliefs are often unconscious and taken for granted.

The Practice of Distinction's Culture GAP Assessment may challenge your assumptions of your existing Culture!

Peak Performing Organizations must continually strive to discover unsuspected problems, detect unrealized potential, and develop a dynamic team synergy.  Organizations that are, and will remain, the Leaders in today's changing marketplace, constantly focus on the Human Dimension of all relationships - the Human Dimension in both team relationships and patient relationships.

Outstanding Organizations in the 2000's will attain their goals by developing a totally new mindset - a new way of doing business - with new structures, new strategies, new values, and a new vision.  This new Vision must involve the actual future map for the practice, as well as a focus on new possibilities.

The Culture GAP Assessment will assist in the identification of your present cultural challenges, establish all team members' reality of the Culture, and demonstrate the issues requiring resolution to bridge the GAP of reality to an Outstanding Culture.  Then, by identifying the Ten Stages any evolving Culture must progress through, new strategies and technologies will be presented to begin your Organization's evolution to one of an Outstanding Culture.

Your Practice of Distinction Coach will assist you in:
  • Mapping your Organization's GAP
  • Plans and strategies to accomplish an Outstanding Evolving Culture
  • Systems Analysis
  • Recognition of thinking and behavioral challenges
  • Identification of the Human Dimension and its impact on systems
  • Technologies for change and team synergy
