Organizational Culture
Whether you've tasked Intulogy to design a whole course for you, or just deliver a couple of classes to your employees, we try to learn enough about your organzation to make sure that we're targetting your audience with the best training methods we can. The biggest part of learning about your organization is about getting a grasp of what is called "organizational culture."
Your organizational culture works its way into everything you produce. So, anyone from the following list, who touches it, is going to feel your company.
What is Organizational Culture?
Entire books are written on this subject, but organizational culture is, at its most simple definition, the soul of your company. All of the anchor points of organizational culture can be hard to pin down, but their effects are seen every day. Organizational culture is what defines your company's personality through its employees and representatives. When an outside observer looks at a company, and wanders through its offices, they would be likely to see the elements of organizational culture at work.
Organizational culture goes beyond pat slogans printed around the office and plays more to what your organization, as a whole, believes in and espouses. However, it is not something that can be changed easily. If you believe that you can change your organization's culture by changing the posters in the office, then you're not thinking deep enough. Organizational culture is a much deeper impacting concept than that. It plays out in tangible, physical ways, but it is an interconnection of the people that make up your organization.
The Power of Organizational Culture
If organizational culture has a palpable feel inside a company's offices, then it's only natural that it would bleed into the the products and services its employees put out. It is also critical to assume that those same employees are going to be more influenced by documents and presentations infused with that same message.
That's why we believe that it's important for our facilitators to be trained instructional designers. They're trained to make sure that your organizational culture is imparted in the training they're delivering. In essence, it's important to us that we "get" you.
If you've got more questions about how your organizational culture can be taken into account when we work with you, or would like to talk to us about a specific training project, please feel free to contact us.
