Think of your project like a computer.

The culture of your project team is the operating system.

The project objectives are the applications you run on it.

You can set any objectives you want for the team. You can ask them to deliver on time, on budget and on scope. You can ask them to be customer-centric. You can encourage them to schedule their own time effectively, using any number of software products.

But, if the culture doesn’t support it, you will struggle to get your objectives done. Understanding organisational culture will help you manage project risk and get a better outcome for your project!
