My friend and occasional collaborator Sandra has written up a proposed extension of Schein’s change model, “offered as a hypothesis worth testing: that organizational cultures demonstrating resilience under significant environmental pressure tend to exhibit high coherence at the artifact level combined with genuine diversity at the assumption level, and that cultures exhibiting the inverse, deep assumption alignment with variable or inconsistent artifacts, tend toward brittleness under the same conditions.”

Her offering includes an invitation to connect to work through a set of proposed next questions to test the hypothesis, an invitation I look forward to taking up.
