Thank you

Analysis of culture tells you where you are now, so can help provide a map of where you need to get to. What factors need to change to get to your desired culture. Future culture is less impacted by the current culture than by the leadership insitu at the time. Culture is always driven by the people at the top. the culture throughout an organisation can predict if the situation will be stable or not.
Context is everything, it is where you are now, the clients you have, the suppliers, the market place. It is the external factors that impact what you can and cannot do.
hope this brief reply helps
