Thank you for the perspective. A culture that supports all the behaviors of avoidance, power and oppositional by team members involved in the process, hasn’t fully realized the core value of development of individuals to contribute fully to the process. Respect for others opinions, diversity of thought, not allowing self centered power are so important in all areas of business.

the intersection of company culture and S&OP is a topic I’m very interested in and thought and wrote a lot about.

There are many other examples of company culture that are not supportive for S&OP or any change for that matter. As company culture is a result of behaviours displayed, what I’m interested in as behavioural and mindset coach is the underlying behaviours.

Do I have a meeting outside S&OP, because:
– Avoidance: I don’t dare to address an issue in a public meeting
– Confidence: is it a lack of confidence in my own abilities
– Power: I like to keep the information to myself
– Oppositional: if a share my idea in meeting I know it’s going to be shot down by my peers or my leaders
– etcetc

The effect you observe is a meeting outside S&OP. The underlying issue is indeed cultural, but to understand which behaviours are the drivers you have to dig a lot deeper.

cheers,
Niels
