The organization is a collective of people and the understanding of the organizational culture may depend on many factors like experience, skills, culture, age or cognitive perceptions.
Different persons may have different perception about the organization, its priorities, processes and even the attitude towards others may vary. These differences may be a reason for conflicts, low motivation, productivity and may cause delays in communication or information losses.
Aligning people with organizational strategies may be considered as initial risk management at the entire organizational level.
Organizational strategies may include:
- How the organization makes its profit
- How the organization expands
- Why specific approaches are chosen
- What the organization expects from all involved parties and individuals
- What the organization gives in return
- Management styles
- Specific custom culture
- Branding and image
- Short term and long terms goals and plans for achieving
- Investments
- Acquisitions
- People management
- Product management
- Project management
- Service delivery
- Finances
- Marketing
- Public Relations
- Sales strategies
- Research and developments
- Technology
All fields, topics, and areas may have a specific organizational vision, plans, approaches, and styles.
Awareness, agreement, and commitment from the entire organization, offices, departments, teams or individuals may be essential for achieving the organizational goals.
Mediating standpoints
The organization is a mixture of the knowledge, expertise, skills, and personalities of all its people inside of it. This variety is usually helpful for organizational activities but at the same time, people may have different points of view, needs, and visions.
Sensitive topics may need the involvement of the Business Value Oriented People Management (BVOPPM) office. Disagreements, remuneration discussions and any kind of different standing points that require the involvement and attention of the BVOPPM office need to be processed with attention and understanding of each side so optimal solutions are found, presented and agreed.
