Change This - We're on a mission to spread important ideas and change minds. 7 Tools to Assess and Accelerate Organizational Culture Change. What is Organizational Culture? “Organizational culture is the sum of values and rituals which serve as ‘glue’ to integrate the members of the organization.”- Richard Perrin Organizational culture can be described as the shared norms; unspoken rules, underlying assumptions; behaviours and expectations that govern the way people approach their work and interact with each other.

Organizational cultures are complex as they made up of multiple layers that have developed over time by influential characters.
