Culture – Edgar Schein
This weeks conversation is about Safety Culture, Dave Whitefield from Semiosphere and Andrew Thornhill from Clarity Enabled and myself discuss Edgar Schein’s model as a way of explaining Safety Culture.
Couple of out takes from the discussions
“The tricky part of Schein’s definition is that it is complex, the good part of this definition is it complex.”
“Shared beliefs”
“Organisation are fearful of discussing issues in a cultural sense”

Rob long says
Unfortunately, without including the collective unconscious, semiotics or poetics in definition, discourse about culture is lacking.
