Culture matters. The development of corporate culture is on top of most personnel managers’ agendas. Especially in business process management it is important to reduce cultural barriers and provide clear directions for required culture change. In this context, culture assessments represent the foundation for the continuous development of organisational culture. They provide opportunities for companies to develop process-oriented strategies for the development of corporate cultures. Against this background, culture assessment plays an important role in research, teaching, and transfer at the Institute of Information Systems. All three areas are closely related with each other and help to better understand the phenomenon of culture and to be able to act accordingly.
