• It is a Local Government Department
• Consists of 4 Airports – International, Mather, Executive, Franklin Field

• Focus on “Turf”
• Process Oriented
• Problem Oriented
• Growth Without a Long-Term Plan
• Employees Not Engaged
• Staff consists mostly of generalists

The board of directors has asked you to prepare an overview presentation for their next meeting on your ideas for a organizational culture transformation plan.  To complete this assignment you are to design a 5 to 10 slide PowerPoint presentation with notes, that addresses the following key elements:

• What makes up organizational culture?
• What do you see as the benefits of a culture transformation
• What would your Culture Transformation Plan consist of? Describe the high level steps you would take to accomplish this transformation.
• What questions would you ask to help in defining a new culture?
• What characteristics would you envision the “new” organizational culture to exhibit? Develop a list based upon the current organizational culture
