Many organizations want to take culture seriously,
but aren¡¯t sure how to get their arms around it, particularly in
a multi-cultural environment. |

¡°Culture
is a powerful, latent, often unconscious set of forces that
determines both our individual and collective behaviors, ways
of perceiving, thought patterns, and values. Organizational
culture matters because cultural elements determine strategy,
goals, and modes of operating.¡±

WuDeLan Partners brings rigor to these
amorphous topics. We believe that organizations are complex
systems at dynamic equilibrium and that cultural change requires
work in multiple areas (e.g., individual and group mindsets,
behaviors, norms, skills and capabilities;
reinforcing systems, structures and processes; communication
flows). |

We work with clients to identify key leverage points
¨C mindsets and behaviors that strongly influence what and how things
are done within an organization ¨C and tease out the questions that
could generate sustainable improvements in performance. We recognize
that every organization has its own way of learning, sharing,
initiating, innovating, executing, renewing, and aligning. We help
clients understand and respect what was historically a basis of
success while also facilitating a shift towards new norms. |
