businessinfomag.uk 30 magazine Q&A many other culture measurement platforms simply do not. This is because our measurements are based on 15 behavioural axes that encapsulate the key drivers of organisational culture, unlike many other platforms that only measure engagement. Whilst engagement is a good metric to measure in conjunction with culture, relying on it as the only driver of culture strategy is unwise.

How do you define company culture? Charlie Coode (CC): I believe the most practical definition of company culture is simply ‘how work gets done within an organisation’. By understanding collective behaviours (ways of working) you can actionably measure and manage your culture to ensure it maintains alignment with and works in conjunction with your overall business strategy. BI: What steps should an organisation take to improve its company culture? CC: I take the view that culture is entirely contextual and that there is no universally ‘good’ or ‘bad’ culture – of course, there are negative or toxic behaviours and these should always be avoided. The approach each organisation must take to improve culture will therefore be unique to them. First, you will need to define your desired ‘Target’ culture and compare that to where you are today. This exercise allows business leaders to understand the gap between where they are and where they want to be, which in turn creates space for important discussions around culture as a prerequisite for building an actionable roadmap to close that Culture Gap. You should then continually check in to understand your progress as you move closer to your desired culture.
