Culture Cloud part 3: Behaviours

SPoR accepts that Behaviours are definitely a part of Culture. But by no means all of Culture. And it is not the only way to influence an organisation.

A look at Social Psychology of Risk's model of Culture, the Cloud. It can be at rest or turbulent, we can see it but have trouble moving it, constant.
We look at Ontology/Worldview as the central hub of the Culture Cloud.
What is your Organisation's Ontology?

Zero, Infinity and Fallibility.

The third video in the Zero Hour series discusses the link between Zero, Infinity and Fallibility.

This is important as fallibility and its inevitability is rarely discussed as we all drive for perfection in the workplace.

I see Littleproud is now alleging the failure of the (then) Coalition's nuclear policy was down to a lack of "agile" messaging.

No, David. It was a shit policy that was comprehensively rejected by the electorate. Let it go.
