Collateral Damage : That's Culture
We see it all the time, organisations keep making the headlines and as you get into the text of it, it’s about the collateral damage that they have caused, due to something they have done; finding more and more, that it’s attributed to their culture. Dr Cooke talks about the relationship between an organisation’s culture and collateral damage, and how it can enable us to work to reduce the likely hood, the probability and severity of collateral damage.
