In Episode 10 of the Culture 360 Podcast, Stu Savage explores the hidden power of artifacts, symbols, rituals, branding, and identity — and how organisations are constantly communicating culture, often without saying a word.From Edgar Schein’s model of organisational culture to semiotics, sport, branding, leadership, and human psychology, this episode dives into the visible signals that shape how people think, feel, behave, and belong.Why do sports teams use lions, eagles, and birds on their badges?
Why do some organisations instantly feel professional, welcoming, or inspiring — while others feel disconnected or hollow?
And why can trust built over decades disappear almost overnight?Using powerful real-world examples including:
- Benfica vs Sporting Lisbon
- Volkswagen and the Beetle
- Roman, Nazi and American eagle symbolism
- workplace rituals and leadership behaviours
- logos, uniforms, flags, meetings, and identity
Stu explores how artifacts become emotional triggers connected to memory, meaning, loyalty, and culture.
Because culture is not just what organisations say.It’s what people see.It's what people hear.It’s what people feel.It’s what people experience.🎙️ Culture360 — Culture from Every Angle.00:00 Understanding Artifacts in Organisational Culture03:21 The Power of Symbols and Emotional Connections06:29 Artifacts in Everyday Workplace Culture09:26 Observing Culture Through Artifacts10:30 Introduction to Leadership and Culture10:31 Exploring Organisational [email protected] YT:@the.cultureroom IG: @the.cultureroom FB: the.cultureroomwww.thecultureroom.co.nz
