Cultural Change - About PINACCAŠ
Many organisations are involved in substantial change initiatives, the success of which certainly depends upon strong leadership and thorough planning. However, it is increasingly recognised that it also depends crucially upon “taking the people with you”.
Cultural change is one of the greatest challenges facing managers and business leaders, who must therefore remain aware of the very latest guidance in this vital discipline.
PINACCA has been developed from the knowledge and expertise of people who have actually experienced cultural change. It provides a structured approach that is non-prescriptive, practical, jargon free and adaptable to all types of organisation. Building upon existing best practice, it offers a fully formulated model for transforming culture as a means to achieving business goals.
PINACCA includes:
- an analysis of how organisational culture evolves and develops and how it acts as a key capability;
- a comprehensive framework for directing and managing generic change initiatives;
- a model for the management of cultural change, incorporating the creation of an enabling corporate environment and the modification of individual and group behaviours;
- a preliminary appraisal exercise to determine an organisation’s readiness for change;
- a means of profiling current and desired cultures so that the gap between them can be quantified;
- a wide-ranging review of the actions that may be taken to achieve change to the desired culture;
- a body of guidance for change leaders covering such aspects as the relationship between strategy and culture, the fundamentals of overcoming resistance to change and the need to maintain focus on business objectives and beneficial outcomes.
The principal element of the PINACCA toolkit is the book PINACCA: Principles in Applied Cultural Change & Alignment , which is available in the UK and Ireland from Amberwing, which also provides a range of PINACCA training and consultancy.
