AB  - This study aims to describe how the Competing Values Framework (CVF) can be used to asses the
existing health organizations and the desired culture in the City of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The CVF
is one of the most influential and extensively used models in the area of organizational culture research.
Compared with other models and scales, the CVF and its matched scale OCAI have better validity and are very
convenient for practical operations. The results suggest that as for the now perspective there is a dominance
of hierarchical culture with an internal focus and dominant control and as for the prefered perspective we
observed a hierarchical culture with an internal focus having 50% of dominance for control and 50% for
flexibility. It is possible to conclude that organizations should not target only one type of culturey, since, there
is the need to consider the compliance with the established rules for work efficiency and operation.
