Edgar Schein's 3 Levels of Organizational Culture

The video explores Edgar Schein's model of organizational culture, which divides culture into three levels: artefacts, espoused values, and shared basic assumptions. Artefacts are visible elements like branding and stories, while espoused values are the declared norms and behaviors. The deepest level, shared assumptions, includes beliefs about truth, time, space, human nature, and social power. Understanding these levels is crucial for shifting organizational culture, as changing assumptions is key to cultural transformation.
