For this learning segment, complete in order:
1.  Diagnosing Organizational Culture
This instrument Diagnosing Organizational Culture by Roger Harrrison and Herb Stokes is designed to help you identify aspects of your organization’s culture and to begin to think about your experiences with the values and management practices of your organization.
Please set aside some quiet time to complete the instrument.  Do not labor over the answers. Generally, your first impressions will be valid.
After you have completed the rankings, enter your scores on the “Scoring Sheet” and total each column on the sheet and complete the “Organizational Culture Profiles” sheet.
Then take some time to read “Understanding Your Organization’s Culture” and the various “Orientations.”
2.  View the PowerPoint lecture
3.  Then write a short paper to record your thoughts on organizational culture based on what you learned upon completion of this instrument.

After completing and scoring Diagnosing Organizational Culture, reading the interpretive material in the instrument’s booklet, and viewing the PowerPoint lecture, reflect in writing on what you discovered about your preferred and organization’s culture paying attention to the following:
•       Where are the differences between the existing and preferred scores?
•       What might account for these differences?
•       What is the significance of this for you as an employee?
•       What would be different in your organization if the existing culture changed to your preferred culture?
•       If the existing culture matches your preferred culture, what is the significance of this for you as an employee?
•       What strengths and advantages do the current (existing) culture give your organization?  What disadvantages are there in the current (existing) culture?
•       Where do you go from here?   (pages 25 – 27)
