OC09 – Core Values in Culture

The values of your organization reflect the qualities of character that your organization tries to develop in its people. Ensuring and embedding such values in an organization is as old as recorded history. More than two millennia have passed since Aristotle referred to virtues and self-decline. Historically, civilizations have passed their cultural values to succeeding generations as a means of cultural preservation. The development of core values is at the heart of any organization’s vision and mission statement, and is key to its future success and sustainability.
