The Vic Park Story snapshot
• Established 1994• Retiring CEO• Executive concerned with culture• 2009 Started with 360 degree feedback on Executive, Cultural
Journey started• New CEO arrived, six-nine months to convince of the need for
change• Cultural change program commenced• Structural changes occurred• CEO left• Acting CEO for 18 months as a result of Reform• Post reform a New/Old CEO what’s he gonna do?
How we do things around here…The messages people get about …
• How they should behave • What we value and emphasise as important • What we ask people to focus on • What we reward / what we punish • What happens when we make a mistake• What we encourage /what we discourage
Culture... what is below the surface
Climate... what is above the surface
Culture and Climate What’s the Difference?
• How many signatures you need before you can implement a decision
• Punctuality – is it ok to be late?
• How long it takes to make a decision
• How much employees can influence decision making
• Energy and enthusiasm in a place – the ‘Pulse’
• Whether people help each other out or just do their own thing
• How hard it is to get new ideas implemented
• How performance is rewarded/ how non-performers are managed
• What happens when someone makes a mistake
Examples of culture ….
How we measured it?
• Gut feel to start with• Needed some tools• Needed a method• Needed the language
• Human Synergistics tools (LSI & OCI/OEI)
• Most widely used, well researched tool for measuring organisational culture in the world

• Many elite sporting teams

The importance of leadership
• A dead fish rots from the head• Need to hold people to account• Being authentic• Not about perfection, its about potential• People need to believe change is possible • Hold the vision, embed the values, influence the people, create a pathway• Be quietly disruptive and nurture innovation• Empower the people to make the change• Make the change or make the change sooner rather than later• This is not a one-shot job, it is ongoing.
“Engage and they will follow. Empower the people and they will lead. Lead the people and they will exceed your expectations.” (quote A. Vuleta CEO ToVPK)
