Organisational culture

Hofstede’s Multi-Focus Organisational culture model, is probably the most recognized organisational culture model today.

With more than 20 years of research and global data from over 70 countries and used by the largest organisations in the world, value is provided for any organisation that will enhance its strategy implementation significantly.

Organisational Culture is the way in which the members of an organisation relate to each other, their work, and the outside world in comparison to other organisations. Your organisational culture can either enable or hinder your strategy.

84% of managers agree that organisational culture is critical for the success of their strategy, and 60 % of managers say that organisational culture is more important than their strategy.

Hofstede Multi-Focus Model was further developed by Bob Waisfisz and is based on Geert Hofstede’s research. The model consists of 8 dimensions.

D1          Organisational Effectiveness
D2          Customer Orientation
D3          Discipline and Control
D4          Focus of Interest
D5          Approachability
D6          Management Philosophy
D7          Acceptance of Leadership Style
D8          Identification with your organisation
