I've always found the preservation and understanding of company culture a fascinating challenge. It's an obvious prophylactic against Chesterton's Fence problems, but nobody wants to believe that they need to buy even the proverbial ounce of prevention - in time, employee hours, or any other currency.

So naturally I'm fascinated by the notion that there are people whose job is to document and compel cultural norms. How do these people come to these positions? Is it a branch of HR, or management, or...? What are their qualifications? How do I get in on this?
