Urging company personnel to search outside the company for work practices and operating approaches is not a substantive culture-changing action that a company's managers can undertake to alter a problem culture. While it can be helpful to look at external ideas for inspiration, it is not a direct action that managers can take to change the culture within the company. The other options listed all involve direct actions that can be taken to promote cultural change within the company.
