Is Successful Culture Created, Curated or Facilitated? The Culture Wars Is Successful Culture Created, Curated or Facilitated?

Discussion Format Describe and explain Fishbowl format and how it works.

The Definition of Culture What does “culture” really mean? Many organizations get stuck in equating culture with employee perks…. We’re a “flexible” culture so we let people work from home… we’re a “fun” culture so we have a keg in our kitchen… we’re a “family-oriented” culture so we value work/life balance…we’re a “creative” so our office space is hip and cool, etc. While these are, no doubt, important facets of a company culture, we’d also interested in how culture is actually embedded within and expressed through the actual operating principles and approach of an agency. Is organizational structure, process/workflow, talent management, responsibility/authority, client management and team collaboration equally (or more) important in delivering an employee experience that reflects the culture? How can Talent and Ops leaders make sure that culture is more than just a manifesto and a list of employee perks?

The Creation of Culture Can culture be created from the top down? Some would say that this, indeed, is the only way that agency culture can really be created… especially in the context of smaller, independent agencies where the founders/principles define, articulate and embody the cultural ethos – a cult of personality, of sorts. In other cases, some argue that the true culture of the agency is arises “in the trenches” and the ethos is defined organically from individuals and teams. There can also the symbiotic relationship of the organizational/leadership definitions of “culture” and the actual emergence of culture on the ground. So can culture really be created? Or is culture really curated and fostered from within the “organism”? How does size, ownership and life stage of the agency alter how one might view and tackle this challenge?

let’s have a debate Break into 4 groups for a small-group discussion on the assigned topic and prepare a debate-style argument to represent this perspective.

Defining Culture: Team Perks You believe that in today’s competitive marketplace, culture is predominately defined and sustained by the benefits, perks and programs that you offer to your employees. Yes, operational approach and working style are important, but at the end of the day the employee experience is primarily a function of what you give them. Please discuss this topic within your group, share the ways in which employee benefits and programs have made a big difference in defining the culture at your agencies and then prepare an argument expressing this perspective along with examples, data and beliefs that support this point-of-view.

Defining Culture: Team Ops You believe that culture without an operational model to support these principles is nothing more than a benefits package. Yes, employee perks and a manifesto are great, but what really defines a culture is the ways in which organizational structure, process/workflow, responsibility/authority, client relationship management and team collaboration embody and breath life into the culture you are hoping to create. Please discuss this topic within your group, share the ways in which org structure, process/workflow and working style truly defines the culture at your agencies and then prepare an argument expressing this perspective along with examples, data and beliefs that support this point-of-view.

Creating Culture: Team Top-Down You believe that culture within an agency must be defined and created from the top-down. Agency founders and the most senior management team must articulate and embody the cultural ethos and without this top- down mandate, culture can never arise or truly succeed. Please discuss this topic within your group, share the ways in which agency founders and leadership teams are the primary promulgators of culture (both positively and negatively) regardless of what the manifesto says and then prepare an argument expressing this perspective along with examples, data and beliefs that support this point-of-view.

Creating Culture: Team Bottom-Up You believe that culture within an agency is ultimately a function of the individuals and teams... it rises organically from what the teams believe and how they work together. Yes, leadership may attempt to create culture through declarations and employee programs but at the end of the day, the real culture is what employees create and experience “in the trenches.” Please discuss this topic within your group, share the ways in which agency culture is created and sustained (both positively and negatively) by individuals and teams even in the absence of specific cultural definitions, goals and programs. and then prepare an argument expressing this perspective along with examples, data and beliefs that support this point-of-view.

Instructions Break into your groups You have 20 minutes to plan debate points 15 minutes each debate 10 minutes for full group debrief
