Cultural fit as an
idea and as
approach to
selecting
products that
live “with you”

Elements of
cultural fit, eg.
community fit,
partner fit, roadmap
fit, ecosystem fit …
Elements of CMS selection

1) Concept
requirements &
technology fit

2) Cultural fit

following five years

getting along the first
year or so

3) The random
stuff: politics,
existing
partnerships,
who likes who,
the money

Background for this model is in
”current situation analysis”
projects where clients have asked
North Patrol to evaluate the
current state of CMS and give
recommendation of development
efforts (eg. continue with the old
or buy something new)
Typically this model is used to
give structure to interviews of key
stakeholders, editors, web team
members, marketing people…
Sometimes the client has already
done concept designing,
sometimes they are just
beginning…
Overview of cultural fit

Client

currently? How many people, what roles and

kind of improvement expectations?
– What kind of future ambitions? What kind of
ambitions does marketing have? Business
divisions? IT?
– What kind of integrations and add-ons is
required in the future?

Analysis: Cultural fit

The
Client

• Example results:
– Drupal has strong agency support, especially
from creative agencies.
– Drupal has an extensive add-on ecosystem
and there are available expertise and training
possibilities in the area.
– EPiServer is feature-rich for the centralized
web team and user-friendly for the expanding
content producer network.
– EPiServer also has a roadmap that fits with
the ambitions of the marketing department.

• And like in technology fit… there rarely is a
perfect cultural fit. You just have to get the
expectations right!

Examples of cultural CMS misfits
personal favorites
1.

Going Drupal without in-house development team or without development-focused
attitude…

2.

Going EPiServer or SharePoint and expecting lots of free add-ons and widgets…

3.

Going Drupal and expecting the partner to ”know the product”…

4.

Going EPiServer and expecting the partner to be skilled in designing impressive
websites and consulting in web marketing…

5.

Going Drupal and expecting the community to develop all the modules that the
organisation needs in the future…

6.

Going Drupal and expecting that it somehow supports a strong web team to do a lot
of stuff without buying expensive development time…

Note: Examples are true-life stories from Finland
Thank you.

  • 4. Elements of CMS selection - 1) Concept requirements & technology fit 2) Cultural fit getting along the following five years getting along the first year or so 3) The random stuff: politics, existing partnerships, who likes who, the money North Patrol Oy 2014 - - Background for this model is in ”current situation analysis” projects where clients have asked North Patrol to evaluate the current state of CMS and give recommendation of development efforts (eg. continue with the old or buy something new) Typically this model is used to give structure to interviews of key stakeholders, editors, web team members, marketing people… Sometimes the client has already done concept designing, sometimes they are just beginning…

  • 22. Analysis: Cultural fit The Client • Example results: – Drupal has strong agency support, especially from creative agencies. – Drupal has an extensive add-on ecosystem and there are available expertise and training possibilities in the area. – EPiServer is feature-rich for the centralized web team and user-friendly for the expanding content producer network. – EPiServer also has a roadmap that fits with the ambitions of the marketing department. • And like in technology fit… there rarely is a perfect cultural fit. You just have to get the expectations right! 2. Style of inhouse software development 1. Current agency relationships 3. Web team competences 4. Content producer network 5.

  • 23. Examples of cultural CMS misfits personal favorites 1. Going Drupal without in-house development team or without development-focused attitude… 2. Going EPiServer or SharePoint and expecting lots of free add-ons and widgets… 3. Going Drupal and expecting the partner to ”know the product”… 4. Going EPiServer and expecting the partner to be skilled in designing impressive websites and consulting in web marketing… 5. Going Drupal and expecting the community to develop all the modules that the organisation needs in the future… 6. Going Drupal and expecting that it somehow supports a strong web team to do a lot of stuff without buying expensive development time… Note: Examples are true-life stories from Finland
