Three Levels of Culture Iceberg
We have used the concept of Schein's three levels in conjunction with the '
iceberg' analogy;
Behaviour - visible, changeable
Attitudes - under the surface, may change over time,
Facts - deep rooted, immutable or extremely hard to change
The main application is understanding cultural differences between individuals, teams and organisations, but also to help define deep-rooted causes of organisational resistance to change, or to help define core organisational values.
