Like it or not: Your company has exactly the culture it deserves! substack.com/home/post/p-16…

Like it or not: Your company has EXACTLY the culture it deserves. Question is: How can you "change the culture" if you "cannot really change the culture?" 1st thing to know: Don't believe a word of what "culture gurus" like Ed Schein said about the matter! substack.com/home/post/p-16…

This week's new article, on #Deming, #Drucker and the crucial difference between the two: nielspflaeging.substack.com/p/the-one-big-…

A new BetaCodex Network research paper is here: "Deming in Japan, 1950-1965" Read the BetaCodex Network news announcement: betacodex.org/home/news/our-… Access the paper here: betacodex.org/white-papers/p…
