Using the competing values framework it appears that Verizon current organizational culture is a combination of clan, adhocracy, and hierarchy (Kinicki, 2013). Verizon demonstrates the clan culture by creating the training initiative. Verizon is providing cross training for its senior level employees as well as its interns. They are also training its employees to be subject matter experts (Kinicki, 2013). This creates a culture where employees are able to collaborate with other employees. Being able to easily collaborate with other employees creates an environment that increases morale and empowers employees (Belasen 2010). Verizon demonstrates the adhocracy culture by providing on demand training to its employees at the roll out of new technology.
