De la culture d’entreprise Au Storytelling Management
C’est quoi la culture d’entreprise?
L’histoire des six singes
DEFINITION
•Un ensemble de comportements, croyances, compréhension qui sont partagées durant une certaine période de temps par les membres d’une organisation
•Elle définit les règles de base au niveau organisationnel et communique aux nouveaux la “bonne” façon de penser et d’agir
•Si tout le monde participe à la culture elle est généralement peu perçue de façon consciente.
•C’est lorsque l’organisation tente d’imposer des stratégies ou des comportements contraires à la culture que le face à face et la culture se perçoivent.
•Si chaque organisation a sa propre culture, il n’y a pas nécessairement une culture unique, mais il peut exister différentes sous-cultures, par département par exemple.
Ca se voit ?
On peut identifier la partie visible à première vue…
Comment cela se passe-t-il dans votre organisation?
• Un nouvel employé qui arrive?• Cinq personnes autour de la machine à café?• Un chef qui hurle sur un employé?• Une personne qui est licenciée?• Un jeune qui veut tout changer?
Comment définiriez-vous la culture de votre organisation en une ou
deux phrases?

Stereotypes
The Americans see the French as ...
• people who do not work • people who don't speak English • people who are rude to tourists, anti-American and ungrateful • people who live in a bureaucratic Socialist system and who are totally dependent on the State • people who do not use soap • arrogant and conceited people distant and difficult to meet • people who do not respect religious freedom etc... • french have the reputation of being very chauvinist ( the word itself comes from a character in a XIXth century play, a fellow named Chauvin who was a soldier of Napoleon).
The French see the Americans as ...
• arrogant and sure they are always right and good, moralizing and very religious • de grands enfants (ie, people who are naive and have no, or a too short, history) • people who have free access to guns and who use them to shoot each other when things go wrong • people who are arch-capitalists and only think about money • people who do not understand other nations and whose press never addresses international issues : • people who do not take criticism For an American it is hard to conceive that a country operating as French can be the fourth the fifth world economic power !

A psychoanalytical view....
• are highly implicit • pessimist and negative : value past ; good at analysis and criticism • contextual : "it depends" • like what is complex • lying is no big deal • want to be independent • based on being a member of a group • try not to get caught ; signing a contract is just the beginning • the contract is strongly associated with the relationship • if the other one wins, it means that I'll lose • BEING : you are judged on what you are • value quality of life
• are highly explicit • optimist and positive : value present and future ; good at action • binary : "it is true or false" • like what is simple • do not lie (it is bad) • want to be loved • social identity is based on the individual • law and contracts must be respected ; everything is in the contract once it is signed • a contract is not linked to the relationship • process oriented : everything must be clear and documented ; reacts as planned • try to get a win-win deal • DOING : you are judged on what you do • value quality of work
French kids learn the principle of authority. Theirs mother says : "be good "..
Schools help American kids become
independent and autonomous. Their mother says : "have fun”

Views from managers
American impression of the French
French impression of the American
People like to know a little bit of everything
Each person is a specialist in his/her own fields
People work in the middle of everyone else
People work individually to do the job they are paid for without questioning anything
People like to know what everyone else is doing
People don't look left or right, they go straight ahead with their specific job
Decisions are rarely without discussion and argument
When a decision is taken, there is a 'steam roller' effect and no argument
It's difficult to get rid of everyone !
There's little job security. People are hired and fired with no reason or argument within 15 days
There's a clear hierarchy - people even seem to be over-supervised
People are superficially relaxed but the boss is the boss
Seniority is by age and ascribed. Seniority is by merit and achievement
If you make a mistake, you will admit to it !
If you make a mistake, you're proud to admit it

American impression of the French French impression of the American
Do you really want to know how long a French declaration tax is ?
Less administratives headaches to cope with the tax declaration
Too much paperwork … Reporting techniques are very technical and procedure-like
Meetings are less controlled .. But the system is quickly becoming more Americanized Meetings are kept to a minimum
Direct workers are often well-qualified and participate more in the company
Direct workers are under-or not qualified tend to accept any jobs or conditions
Business is a human affair including intuition and emotion
Work is seen as rational and systematic - you work towards achieving an objective
French tend to be less corporate Americans always have a ‘Corporate identity’

Body language
Make him count 1,2,3,4,...
French will start with the thumb and end with the little finger
An American will start with the little finger and end with the thumb
Make him walk French will be much stiffer
An American will move his arms and take-up a lot of space
Put him in an elevator French will try to avoid any eye contact An American will talk about anything
Make him say "everything is OK French will put his thumb upright
An American will form a circle joining histhumb and index (in French, this gesture means : "zero")
Make him hug
French like the Spanish with his abrazo, will actually TOUCH the body of the other person and act as if he was enjoying it
An American will look as if he was afraid of bad breath, stay as far as possible and give a big slap on the back of the other person
Enjoy a meal with him
French will put his bread on the table and put his hands on the table
An American will put his bread on his plate and will put his hands on his thighs
Les valeurs affichées et la culture
• Il y a parfois des entreprises qui affichent leurs valeurs sur les murs et leurs documents comme:– Integrité– Communication– Respect– Excellence

Though growing rapidly, Google still maintains a small company feel. At the Googleplex headquarters almost everyone eats in the Google café (known as "Charlie's Place"), sitting at whatever table has an opening and enjoying conversations with Googlers from all different departments. Topics range from the trivial to the technical, and whether the discussion is
about computer games or encryption or ad serving software, it's not surprising to hear someone say, "That's a product I helped develop before I came to Google."
Google's emphasis on innovation and commitment to cost containment means each employee is a hands-on contributor. There's little in the way of corporate hierarchy and
everyone wears several hats. The international webmaster who creates Google's holiday logos spent a week translating the entire site into Korean. The chief operations engineer is
also a licensed neurosurgeon. Because everyone realizes they are an equally important part of Google's success, no one hesitates to skate over a corporate officer during roller hockey.Google's hiring policy is aggressively non-discriminatory and favors ability over experience. The result is a staff that reflects the global audience the search engine serves. Google has
offices around the globe and Google engineering centers are recruiting local talent in locations from Zurich to Bangalore. Dozens of languages are spoken by Google staffers, from Turkish to Telugu. When not at work, Googlers pursue interests from cross-country cycling to
wine tasting, from flying to frisbee. As Google expands its development team, it continues to look for those who share an obsessive commitment to creating search
perfection and having a great time doing it.
Citations d’E. Schmidt
• I believe every day that Google is run by its culture, not by me.
• The strategy and the products that we build are a consequence of the culture we have around innovation and focusing onthe end user.
• Microsoft has an innovative corporate culture and a strong product development focus that is designed to keep us on the leading edge of the industry. We believe that our employees are the company's most important asset. They are the source of our creative ingenuity and success so we empower each staff member to take initiative in solving problems, coming up with new ideas and improving the organisation.
• Microsoft values diversity and respects each person's individuality
• When you sell software to 180 million people, in 70 countries, speaking 150 languages, you can't afford to have a singular point of view. Microsoft employs people from many nationalities and backgrounds.

Le storytelling
« … le récit est présent dans tous les temps, dans tous les lieux, dans toutes les sociétés; le récit commence avec l’histoire même de l’humanité; il n’y a jamais eu nulle part aucun peuple sans récit »

Aujourd’hui…
We tell stories because we have something exciting to tell.
We tell stories to have fun, to entertain someone or keep them in suspense.
We tell stories to let other people know what we're thinking.
We tell stories to express our feelings. We tell stories to teach somebody
something or to explain something. We tell stories to share ourselves to let
other people get to know us better. We tell stories to give people enjoyment. We tell stories to get feelings out. We tell stories to use our imaginations.We tell stories to save our experiences
forever.
John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid in The Social Life of Information
Cognitive psychologist Donald Norman (1993)
"Stories aren't better than logic; logic isn't better than stories.
They are distinct; they both emphasize different criteria. I think it very appropriate that both be used in decision-making
settings. In fact, I rather like the ordering that often happens,
usually accidentally: First the data and the logical analysis,
then the stories. Yes, let the personal, emotional side of decision
making have the last word."
