Reading through chapter six gave me a chance to pick up key terminologies and concepts related to culture and project management. The first interesting term I came across was organizational culture. At times an organization will be required to engage with internal and external customers when working on a project. When doing this, it is vital that one understands the organization’s culture, the relationships, and the context within which the project is to be undertaken. Watts (2014) defined organizational culture as the set of values, beliefs, and attitudes within the workplace shared by all employees and informing their decision-making and conduct. Corporate culture can not only be easily discerned but also might be implied. What this means is that a person can easily deduce the culture embraced at their workplace by looking at how people dress or speak. With regard to the implied aspects of an organization’s culture, some of them include its business philosophy and values.
