Business Culture
Culture is the only truly sustainable competitive advantage.
BUSINESS VALUE GROUP has defined Culture as
The integrated set of learned behaviors that are the result of the combination of
a) Defining moments during the formative years of the company, and
b) What gets rewarded or punished.
We view Business Culture as an artifact of how the company is managed and led. Following the Vision Framework Model, the company’s Purpose, Core Values and Behaviors are the main components in bringing clarity to how the company is intended and expected to operate.
The Vision Framework Model is foundational to Culture and how a company operates. All people are products of their personal beliefs and values, much of which gets formed early in life. It is also true that these beliefs can change through adaptation to environment, situations, and circumstances. Strong cultures are always congruent with deeply held beliefs and values that are expressed by the CEO and leadership in general. When there is incongruence between the words, behaviors, or actions of the leaders (which is impossible to hide), employee trust and commitment plummets and performance has a tendency to degrade over time.
