You have just started a new job as a management consultant and on your first assignment you notice certain disparities in the way departments are managed. You note, for example, that in the sales department people are very flamboyant, coming and going as they please, yet highly-focused on reaching sales targets. It seems there is an annual incentive scheme whereby sales personnel that make budget are afforded an overseas holiday.

Contrary to this, in the accounts department, you notice that the characters are very dour and that they seem to all arrive at work spot on starting time then isolate themselves in their respective offices or cubicles until closing time, when they all quietly leave work en masse.

Now that you are armed with a working knowledge of the Values Journey model, use it correctly identify at which value station each of the two departments appear to be located w.r.t. their organisational fit and then explain to your consulting team colleagues why the above-mentioned anomalies often exist within firms.
