The culture of organisational change
A recently published book offers a viable path for its achievement
Organisational culture as corporate driver, placing human beings first and global well-being before mere profit. These concepts are becoming increasingly integrated within organisations of production, yet they need to be fully comprehended before they can be applied in real terms. This is why reading Comportamento Organizzativo: cultura organizzativa (Organizational behavior. Organizational culture) by Jesus Reyes can be useful – it is a kind of “manual” collecting good organisational practices that place people at the centre.
The book revolves around the possibility that the conditions whereby the human component, i.e. the “elemental part”, within the internal dynamics of a company is neglected could be the result of changes occurring within corporate organisations. In other words, the human capital – the part of the organisation that moves the entire organisational team – might end up taking the back seat. This basically means underestimating the importance of managing human talent, something that can happen when companies are overwhelmed by change.
Reyes, then, guides the reader through the following chapters, which are oriented towards a series of changes in corporate culture and organisational behaviour. The new “management of human talent”, he explains, must take place through the generation of habits and values embedded in people’s proactive behaviours and attitudes. Only then roles and functions undertaken within interpersonal relations can change – for the better. An objective that is certainly not easy to achieve, though the only objective possible within a phase of major change in economic and social systems, and subsequently in the way that organisations of productions, expected to reconcile efficiency and effectiveness, are planned and realised.
To achieve change, to be the first, to build a new organisational image – Reyes tells us – we simply need to break with traditional schemes and incorporate new case studies and models for value generation.
