Influencing Culture

Culture change is hard. But it is possible. The secrets are: don't try and "eat the elephant" in one bite, and don't expect to get it right the first time. Successful culture changes often come after several misfires which create a learning opportunity for everyone. As your organization progresses on its journey toward becoming a culture more adept with data, here are some tips to guide your efforts:

1. View culture as an advantage
2. Focus on the ingredients
3. Create a compelling vision of the culture you want
4. Promote core practices and behaviors
5. Deal with detractors
6. Measure progress
