Every company has a culture into it. For example, in my life I worked on two companies in the same sector, one American and one British. In one of them is given a lot of attention to discussions, all decisions are very slow, take ages, sometime we lost opportunities, but once decided no one changed the direction, even if it was a wrong decision. People had trouble with mistakes there. In the other was the opposite. Things were fast to be decided, not much burocracy on it, but things also changed fast, even if they did not have the time to be matured, to show if they were or not worth. That`s a cultural thing. The way people dress, the way they sit, etc etc are all part of cultural issues in a company.

cultural change… so that’s getting employees to change their mindset from “I am comfortable where I am” to “nothing is certain, the only way to be competitive is constantly improving performance”.
specific example of culture would be the way people turn up to work (be on-time or 30 minutes late?), the way people interact (can you speak honestly with your boss or are you afraid to be punished?) , is people generally happy what is asked of them is achieved? or do they go extra mile ? for customer, for the company for the supply chain?
This is the kind of cultural things within an organisation that managers try to change. How will EFQM succeed in implementing the change? Important categories like leadership to motivate people, lead by example; processes to make things people work more efficiently; people, have reward systems that make excellent workers perform to the best potential and things like that.
The GE article we suppose to read for OPP has some good information about how Jack Welch (CEO) tried to CHANGE his company maybe you could have a look at that for some ideas
good luck :)
