BUT … How do I know?

This way we can understand the Organizations

Organizations may exhibit all culture, but will haveONE dominant culture

Understanding the Work Culture makesNavigation among these work groups easy

DIFFERENT People DIFFERENT Context

Role based work cultures enables us to understand and learn how to attract and embrace creative workforce

It really makes sense in understanding the Work Culture!
