Assessing a company’s culture
Hi David,
On my past time as part of the Global Team, I used to run a on line tool available on the intranet, that allowed me to generate quick reports about one cultural behavior versus another. It was a great tool before I could meet foreigners abroad and break the ice. We are not necessarily obligated to change our personal behavior, but knowing what is relevant to the other helps a lot. Shake Hands, Eyes contact, Voice tone, Bubble space, how to give and take advises, how to conduct a meeting, how to exchange business cards, how to go straight to the point or surrounding on the details, etc. Would be good if Workday could enable that feature or have a partnership with a product who does that.
While I was writing, the name of the company came on the tip of the tongue: GLOBESMART (https://www.aperianglobal.com/modes-of-delivery/globesmart/). See, my memory works sometimes!
I wish GARTNER could have licenses for all associates. I am not sure how they charge for it, but they can enable all email accounts under @gartner.com.
Cheers

Subject: Assessing a company’s culture
I am fascinated by culture. I found a tool buried in the CEB Ignition Guide to Onboarding New Employees for Managers that helps a new employee assess their company’s culture (see attached). I’m thinking this can help us understand the cultural context of our members. What type of company culture are they working in? Would a strategy that works in an internet company not work as well in a government sector? Or are we all just moving to an internet speed Amazon-like frictionless easy end-user experience?
Take a look at the attached and let me know what you think…
I like to travel, and when I visit a new country, I try to understand what is different about this country’s culture. When I lived in France, my German datacenter manager discussed differences in culture with his European staff to promote better understanding and collaboration. For example, France and Germany have a very different perceptions of time. If you are 2 minutes late for an appointment in Germany, it is considered rude whereas in France, time is more elastic. Relationships are more important in France, process and data are more important in Germany. These are generalities and change with newer generations but I find them interesting nonetheless. I was constantly referring to my book on culture (Kiss, Bow, Or Shake Hands: The Bestselling Guide to Doing Business in More Than 60 Countries) to better understand why me colleagues were behaving in a certain way.
