It\u2019s a question asked about organisations (political and otherwise) for centuries and answered in literally tons of ways. Its etymology is rooted in the Latin word <i>colere<\/i>, meaning to cultivate or grow.&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">Often people talk about culture as manifestations of collective achievements (art, music, customs).&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">Cultured people are said to be refined. So, where does it come from and what does it mean in the context of an organisation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">Culture comes from the informal rules and norms as well as&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dlc.dlib.indiana.edu\/dlc\/bitstream\/handle\/10535\/3711\/9412002.pdf?...1\" target=\"_blank\">formal rules set through the polity<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">&nbsp;(page 19 in the linked document). Either may be inherited or planned, and, in this way, culture accretes into a thing that can feel intangible. But is it? Intangible?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">A thing that arises from formal and informal rules and norms, and manifests as an ever-changing set of recognised collective achievements is nothing more than the reified collapsed wave function of relationships with each other, our environment, and technology. The observant reader will recognise this as a nod to&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/uncertainty-principle\" target=\"_blank\">the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">; that part of quantum mechanical theory that states the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time. Whilst the validity of this theory is not in doubt, it doesn\u2019t provide the hapless motorist with a defence to a camera-based speeding ticket because the police can make an accurate enough determination measuring two or more points in space and calculating the missing information, speed. Interestingly, the speeding motorist also has potential to impact a number of things: people (passenger angst, danger to those outside the vehicle), environment (higher rates of pollution, noise), and technology (faster wear on the car and the road itself).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-375a5b6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"375a5b6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-554b47f\" data-id=\"554b47f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8590fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b8590fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Symbiosis<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1679b61 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1679b61\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f90c6ae\" data-id=\"f90c6ae\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c53b04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c53b04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Culture, then, is the symbiotic relationship between people, environment, and technology; the glue for those aspects of digitalisation discussed previously in this series and, thus, it occupies the middle of the picture, because it touches and is touched by everything.<br><\/p><p>Cultures evolve in tandem with those other aspects.

Consider the case of&nbsp;a Project Manager who blocks the release of code at the end of a Sprint because one of the requirements wasn\u2019t completed. The unfinished requirement is pushed into the next Sprint, but the PM states the output from both must be implemented at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon, especially in the early days of a Project, for some requirements to be missed as the team calibrates its delivery capabilities and its ability to work together (Bruce Tuckman&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindtools.com\/pages\/article\/newLDR_86.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Forming, Norming, Storming, Performing model<\/a>). The same thing then happens at the end of the second Sprint \u2013 the original missed requirement is delivered, but something from the second Sprint is missed. This often occurs because the PM refuses to allow the content of a Sprint to alter based on changing requirements or priorities.<\/p><p>As the situation compounds, delivery is continually deferred until, at some point, a crisis arises. The crisis is often blamed on Agile, but had the PM allowed prioritisation and release, no crisis would exist. Why did the PM behave in this way? In my experience this happens because the PM has no formal training in Agile (or has oversold their own credentials) so instead, mistakenly believes Agile is about doing work in two, or maybe, three-week stints (Sprints) and calling someone a Product Owner. This type of problem is generally fixed with a small amount of training, yet all too often organisations try to do Agile on the cheap by \u201csaving\u201d on training costs. This not only costs them in the aforementioned delay costs, but stifles the innovative culture that firms long for because team members become conditioned to a lack of progress being the norm whilst accusations mount as to who is to blame.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-eaf5f84 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eaf5f84\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-714f83b\" data-id=\"714f83b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4e7749 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d4e7749\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Myth 3: We must negotiate exclusive contracts with Cloud Platform Providers<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-575c8de elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"575c8de\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c946f5\" data-id=\"2c946f5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f5a384 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f5a384\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the old world of large systems provided by expensive suppliers, it often made sense to manage the costs of a contract by negotiating an exclusivity deal with the provider, in many cases spanning a number of years.

The German philosopher Martin Buber wrote a book called I-Thou. It&#8217;s not the easiest read being a mix of philosophical poetry and prose, but it does provide a concept that is incredibly important for relationships (in any context). His idea was that there are two parts to a relationship. The first is I, that part of you that is you. The second is a choice but one that you choose to bring. It is either <i>Thou<\/i> (the&nbsp; archaic singular form of you) or <i>It<\/i> (as in the transactional).<\/p>\n<p>When you select <i>I-Thou<\/i> it is not merely to offer a relationship, but, rather, to bring your authentic emotional self to the relationship in a presence that is the representation of the two parts. If, instead, you opt for <i>I-It<\/i>, you bring a transactional presence into the room, one that is bereft of emotion. This latter relationship is appropriate in some circumstances &#8211; if you&#8217;re paying for something at a shop you&#8217;ve never been to before, <i>I-It<\/i> may be the right relationship to bring. But if you only ever bring the transactional relationship into meetings, it sows the seed for a transaction-based team and, by extension, a transactional culture. But culture, like leadership, is not simply transactional (despite what some modern leaders may think). Good culture, like good leadership, requires good relationships.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9b1212f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9b1212f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e2fb9d\" data-id=\"8e2fb9d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa8a6d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aa8a6d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Myth 7: We cannot influence Culture: it evolves<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6b8ea89 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6b8ea89\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-96ed0ca\" data-id=\"96ed0ca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1635d5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1635d5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Of course, culture does evolve.

That&#8217;s far more normal than the other way round. Culture, like the wave functions of uncertainty, doesn&#8217;t have defined end state. It&#8217;s a distribution of behavioural probabilities over time, with probability levering up and down according to multiple factors in play at any one time. There is no stopping condition because the context in which a culture exists continually changes.&nbsp; But it is possible to introduce practices aimed at providing a ideal culture in the context of your organisation for digital maturity to flourish.<\/p>\n<p>Cultural change, like technological change, isn&#8217;t achieved overnight. There may be resistance, a lot of it. You can&#8217;t overcome strong resistance with a click of the fingers. It may be necessary to negotiate the path to a new culture incrementally.

Attend demos and Sprint wrap-up meetings (or whatever similar functions you have);<\/li>\n<li><b>Delegate, but never abdicate responsibility<\/b>. Empower team members to make decisions. It&#8217;s rare that they will make a catastrophic one (indeed, I&#8217;ve yet to hear of it in the context of empowerment). Even if they do, most decisions can be course corrected. But people who feel unempowered will often watch as the car crash unfolds for fear of getting in trouble.<\/li>\n<li><b>Remove blockers that prevent the engineers and other specialist members of the team from achieving their goals<\/b> (your goals).<\/li>\n<li><b>Engage with team members outside of meetings. <\/b>Speak to them about their lives, their needs, their wants. Empathise with them.<\/li>\n<li><b>Communicate goals and expectations frequently.<\/b> People forget. It&#8217;s natural. Repeating the same message, in different situational contexts, breed familiarity (not contempt) and helps make the messages authentic.<\/li>\n<li><b>Be prepared to pivot if things change.<\/b> There&#8217;s nothing wrong with changing direction if you think that&#8217;s the right thing to do. Do it as early as possible (fail-fast).<\/li>\n<li><b>Use coaching &#8211; for you and for your team. <\/b>A different perspective helps people gain a grounded view of their own place in the team.<\/li>\n<li><b>Send people on courses.<\/b> It&#8217;s far cheaper in the long run to have resource who know what they&#8217;re doing that having them guess what the right thing to do is. Continual Professional Development has its roots in Freud and Jung &#8211; not bad people to take a leaf out of the book from.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c3a945f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c3a945f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f6f1875\" data-id=\"f6f1875\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de6d31d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"de6d31d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">And now...<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e61da8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e61da8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bba9c81\" data-id=\"bba9c81\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e622d66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e622d66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We have come to the end of the series of articles on digitalisation and digital maturity.
