You've been hired as a consultant and your supervisor glibly states that organizational culture is easy to measure. Being an expert on organizational culture, how do you respond?
What will be an ideal response?
Culture is difficult to measure and assess because it is elusive and hidden, carried out over time in the values and behaviors of a society or organization. Measuring and assessing culture requires skill, time, and the ability to use difficult techniques, which help one to see the behavior with a scientific detachment. Without the requisite training and skills, observers often fall victim to their own culture and values, imposing value judgments on what they observe and, thus, limiting their ability to fully see and appreciate the nuances and underlying assumptions of the culture they observe.
