The Iceberg Model of Organisational Culture

The picture of an iceberg helps us to visualise culture and the link between behaviours and beliefs. An iceberg has less mass above the water (this visible part) as compared to the greater mass that lies below the surface (which is generally unseen).
The main idea behind the iceberg model is that in the same way as a physical iceberg, with any culture, there are obvious things such as behaviours that are visible, but there are lots of things hidden below the surface within a group that drive these behaviours. In this way, the iceberg model is a simple metaphor for describing organisational culture.
The video explains more about what organisational culture is and how the iceberg model can help us understand behaviour in the workplace. If you would like further information then you can read the accompanying article by copying and pasting this link to the website:
