Living organisational values: the bridges value inculcation model

Abstract

Purpose

Vision, Mission and Values are buzzwords that many leaders have grasped on to and attempted to adopt. Most, however, have failed to inculcate the values. What is missing is a model to translate values into actions and behviours.

Design/methodology/approach

The Value Inculcation Model introduces a four step approach that links Values to Organizational Performance. It is based on ten years research and work by Bridges Business Consultancy Int.

Findings

By identifying core values, changing attitudes and encouraging new behaviours, the organisation will start to transform.

Originality/value

Identifying the values for an organisation is only step one of a four step process. To successfully become a value‐driven organisation, leaders must translate core values into what it means to staff member's attitude and behaviours and then consider the overall impact to Organisational performance.
