Strategic Culture Hacks (PDF)

Culture hacks are an agile instrument for bringing the desired corporate culture to life in everyday operations. They keep the postulated values in focus and ensure the necessary reflection of daily activities. Culture hacks address the mindset and specific behavior, thus making the corporate culture tangible for all employees at every level of the hierarchy. Corporate culture, increasingly recognized as an important issue, is the focus of this book. Culture hacks represent a key element in shaping corporate culture. The topic is still relatively new, and the book is the first to present a comprehensive concept for the strategic use of culture hacks. It bridges the gap between corporate strategies and operational processes. The concept presented is very pragmatic: specific models, tools, design principles and roadmaps clarify and accompany the implementation in operational practice. The book creates a framework for the targeted and strategic use of culture hacks to optimize corporate culture.
