Making the Previously Intangible Tangible
There’s a common misconception that corporate culture is unchangeable, but this notion is far from reality. Corporate cultures are dynamic and ever evolving, influenced by both visible and invisible factors. The iceberg metaphor is often used to describe this, with the visible 10% representing overt behaviors and practices, while the remaining 90%—the lived values, beliefs, and unspoken norms—lies beneath the surface. This hidden portion plays a critical role in shaping productivity, employee satisfaction, engagement, resistance, and overall corporate success, yet it often eludes traditional leadership, change and transformation approaches.

The Iceberg Analogy and Organizational Culture
The iceberg analogy highlights the dual nature of corporate culture. The visible tip above water symbolizes the observable aspects of a company’s culture, such as dress codes, official policies, and behaviors. However, the massive, submerged part represents deeper, often hidden facets—attitudes, beliefs, informal networks, and unspoken rules that profoundly influence employee interactions and organizational effectiveness.
Just as icebergs are constantly moving, drifting with ocean currents and winds, organizational cultures are also in a state of continuous evolution. This movement can cause icebergs to shift, flip, or even capsize when their center of gravity changes—much like organizational cultures undergoing significant transformation. Despite this, some leaders and change management professionals struggle to acknowledge the fluidity of corporate culture.
