Culture Management Info
Measure against target culture
• Interpret each indicator in light of what it is trying to measure.
• Indicators benchmarked against what firm is trying to achieve
• Conduct targeted assessments on specific cultural themes that emerge on the firm’s risk radar
• Review the target culture whenever the firm’s strategy is reviewed so that the two continue to align
• Don’t simply collate culture-related indicators because they are available without a clear view on which aspect of the target culture each indicator is trying to measure
Objective wherever possible
• Combine subjective metrics
• Consider how these can be made more objective
• Take into account the perspective of different business areas when considering their views
• External viewpoints
• Don’t rely solely on subjective metrics
• Don’t collect metrics in a way that is likely to result in biases
Drawn from a range of sources
• Use internal & external data
• Think about what existing MI can be used to assess culture, including data which can be adapted
• Innovative information sources
• Don’t draw all cultural indicators from one source
• Don’t simply reuse existing MI
• Don’t rely too heavily on conduct risk data for culture assessment
Capture info on subcultures
• Analyse culture MI by business line, region and grade to identify outliers
• Use a mixture of indicators comparable across business lines and those specific to certain business lines
• Use culture champions in each business line and country to help put indicators into the cultural context
• Staff surveys: differences can be drawn out by asking staff about their experiences of working with other parts of the firm
• Don’t simply aggregate metrics on a firm-wide basis
Evidence-based analysis
• Focus the MI on key messages for senior management
• Highlight areas demonstrating cultural strengths
• Make it clear
• Don’t simply present a list of cultural indicators without providing analysis
• Don’t identify issues without making any recommendations
Tailored to audience
• Report the most detailed MI to heads of business lines
• High level to Chair, CEO and Board
• HR, Risk, Audit receive MI specific to their function
• Don’t reuse MI for
different purposes
Pace of cultural change
• Assess culture regularly
• Do period in-depth assessments
• Track progress of culture indicators
• Reassess culture when target changes
• Don’t wait for an issue to drive assessment
• Don’t think culture can only be assessed through large-scale one-off exercises
• Don’t panic if a cultural change programme initially has a negative impact on staff engagement
• Don’t stop assessing culture once a culture change programme has been implemented
Governance and capabilities
• Recipients of MI report to give input on design
• Central team to collate and analyse MI
• Review what MI is collected as business changes
• Don’t allow individual areas to have the final say on what goes into the MI report
• Don’t use analytics before there’s confidence in the accuracy of underlying data
TARGET CULTURE
BehavioursValues to promote
sound risk
management
Detrimental behaviours Developing behaviours Desirable behaviours
Challenge Defensive response to
challenge
Openness to people who speak
up
Speaking up is welcomed and
encouraged
Communication Important risk messages are
not communicated
consistently by leaders
Ratio of risk- to non-risk related
messages is appropriate
Risk is always a highly visible topic, the
same as other critical issues
Incentives and
consequences
Excessive risk-taking is
rewarded
There are appropriate penalties
for people who break the rules
Definitive and prompt penalties are
applied for behaviour that contradicts
risk principles, and shared to build
awareness
Incentives and
consequences
Inconsistent penalties for
behaviour that is misaligned
with risk and compliance
principles
There is reward for risk–taking that
is carefully considered and
acceptable for the type of
business
There is reward for risk–taking that is
carefully considered and is within the
risk appetite of the firm and its clients
