We continued talking about culture this week. Culture is an outcome, not a design variable, my professor taught. The design variables are team structures, team composition, processes, management styles and so on.
The other important variable in this equation is Context. Everything DEPENDS. Yeah, that's not just the useless consultant-speak. Everything really depends on the environment, the industry and the history of how the elements come together. Context is ever-changing, and the only way to survive is adaptability. Nothing outlasts context shifts, not even the greatest cultures. Adapt, adapt, adapt. There's no point hanging on to "how things used to be". Things are continuously changing away from how they were, how they are and how they will be.
The world is not simple! But didn't they say that on our first day? :)
