Management and corporate culture hacking

Stefan Haas

“The culture of a group can now be defined as a pattern of shared basic assumptions learned by the group as it solved its problems of external adaptation and internal integration, which has worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore, to be considered valid and, therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way you perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems.”

Culture is complex

“Cultural Hacking can be understood as infiltration into systems and the changing of their coding. It is a critical, often even subversive game with cultural codes, messages and values.”

(Johannes M. Hedinger, Com&Com) http://culturalhacking.wordpress.com/cultural-hacking

“Unfortunately, these management discoveries were not made by “the right people”: academics in business schools or high-paid managers in big corporations.”

2. FIND THE CRACK

3. MAKE ART (Scary J)

“Only of condition of a radical widening of definitions will it be possible for art and activities related to art [to] provide evidence that art is now the only evolutionary-revolutionary power. Only art is capable of dismantling the repressive effects of a senile social system that continues to totter along the deathline: to dismantle in order to build ‘A SOCIAL ORGANISM AS A WORK OF ART’… EVERY HUMAN BEING IS AN ARTIST who – from his state of freedom – the position of freedom that he experiences at first-hand – learns to determine the other positions of the TOTAL ART WORK OF THE FUTURE SOCIAL ORDER.”
