Organisational culture is a fairly nebulous concept, but in my mind, it boils down to the unwritten rules of how everyone within an organisation works together through good times and bad.
Many organisations try to direct an organisation’s culture through their “value statements”. But it ultimately boils down to how everyone treats each other through the ups and downs of working together.
Most organisational cultures evolve over time, but through fast periods of growth, cultures have to develop fast and often from scratch as new locations open.
