The Culture-Climate Change
Cycle
(modestly) explains everything
from why markets are crashing in the
United States to the chaos in Iraq.
From why protesters are successful
to why organizational change is easy
or hard.

It works like this: Organizational
culture includes powerful historical
and developmental factors that
strongly influence
6 systems of
organizational behavior including
leadership and capacity needs.  

The nature of those systems directly
affects the organizational
climate,
including level of employee
engagement, styles of leadership,
and the quality of trust. An
organization's daily
actions are
judged by whether society, clients,
customers, or employees feel the
actions are expected, effective, and
supported.

Over time, action can influence and
change the organizational climate.
But at all times, the culture...to
varying degrees...affects daily
actions much like culture influences
system structures and the climate.
The Culture-Climate Change Cycle is a dynamic process. Drawing
from complexity science and chaos theory, it shows that
organizational life is NEVER static. Cultures, systems, climates
and actions are constantly evolving and shifting with some points in
the cycle moving faster than others. For example, actions can
change hourly, but they are influenced by the climate which is
shaped by systems and structures, which in turn are heavily
determined by culture.

Culture, on the other hand, is slow and ponderous within the
change cycle. It successfully transforms only when there are
positive linkages between the intent of action, climate and system
changes and the deeply embedded values, traditions, and beliefs
of the organization.
