I was about to write something sarcastic about semantics - but then I engaged my brain. If your company is a bowl of 999 blue M&Ms and somebody asks you to find a new M&M that will Fit That Bowl I know what I'd be reaching for (feels like question #1 on an IQ test) I still think I dislike the 'Culture' word though. The company has a culture & minority staff have a culture - but these are not the same things. The actual company culture isn't even the same thing as individual summation of individuals in it. Back to the M&M bowl. Each person that added the previous 999 M&Ms didn't hate the other colours - they just fitted that +1 Blue that fit what they found. Then edict comes down that the big-blue bowl looks really unappetizing, and doesn't actually look like M&Ms. This bowl is not representative of M&Ms! Oh I'll stop now.. ..I just had mental picture of an experiment. Send people into a room with an unopened M&M packet and instructions to fit or add to the bowl. Then maybe vary the bowl contents (number in it, skew the colours). Then further fiddle with the ratio in their 'sealed' packet... OK, I said I'd stop..
