Does anyone have experiences/advice for introducing a LO culture into a
highly regulated dangerous manufacturing type organisation? I am
currently working for a company who I cannot name. They are trying to move
to a learning culture form a highly bureaucratic command & control
culture. A major problem is that the core cusiness of the company involves
dangerous processes and materials and the safety environment is heavily
(externally) regulated. Can a LO culture be generated/survive in this type
of environment? If so, how can it be introduced? Other parts of the
organisation are not highly regulated but hold similar cultural values. Is
attitude to risk a tacit value which exists at the organisational level or
can parts of the organisation have wildley differing attitudes to risk?
