Are You Using The Right Culture Model?: High Performance Redefined

The biggest challenge with Agile is culture — industry research has consistently reported this for years. Adaptation of a new way of working often doesn't blend into "business as usual." To succeed with Agile, we need to understand culture and how to navigate it. And the key question is, "Are you using the right culture model?" Or, less provocatively, "How effective is the culture model you are using?" Let's examine some commonly-used models and see how they compare.

The Schneider Culture Model? Nope.

Back in 2011 and 2012, I started to experiment with the Schneider culture model to understand and shift the organizational culture. My work and my blog post "How to Make You Culture Work"  had a huge impact on the Agile community. (Just see how many other people use this image or have made their own version by copying the words and symbols in my diagram).
