  text: <jats:p>Systems Engineering is becoming increasingly important in the engineering
    of complex technical systems. Its introduction is forcing companies to undertake
    major transformation initiatives. As established change management approaches
    show, the corporate culture is an important key criterion for success of transformation.
    Therefore, when introducing Systems Engineering into an organization, transformation
    initiatives must be tailored to an existing corporate culture or the corporate
    culture itself must be changed in order to enable Systems Engineering. In literature
    and in industrial practice, different approaches for assessment of corporate culture
    exist. Within this research, a systematic literature review on methods and models
    for corporate culture assessment is conducted. Core elements are collected and
    combined with the fundamentals and success factors of Systems Engineering to develop
    a model for corporate culture assessment. The developed model is applied to the
    industrial practice of an ongoing Systems Engineering transformation of a large
    car manufacturer. The results of the assessment are compared with the emerging
    project challenges. Based on this model and its supporting tool and templates,
    organizations and transformation leaders are enabled to rapidly obtain an orientation
    of hindering or supporting currently established cultural aspects with regard
    to Systems Engineering transformation and to provide a decision basis for further
    measures.</jats:p>
