The internal culture of an organization tells us what that organization is like, how the people who do their feel, how its customers perceive it, and what capacity to adapt to changing environments it may have, also can tells us about their results. We propose to go to the very beggining, to rethink ourselves from there and that all activity and results comes as consequences of a living ecosystem.
All organizations can start this path, many already done in different parts of the world.
