A half-day workshop
An organisation’s culture emerges naturally over time, driven largely by the behaviours and actions of the board, conscious or otherwise.
Culture change, on the other hand, generally only happens if you make a conscious and collective decision.
This half-day session is designed specifically for boardroom teams, to give them an opportunity to explore the dynamics of culture change and what’s involved in initiating, leading and implementing a culture change programme.
- Understand the steps that need to be taken to influence culture change
- Discover how culture is formed and influenced
- Learn what you can do to make changes to the culture in your business
- Appreciate what’s involved in committing to a culture change programme
- Develop a clearer understanding of your personal role and impact – whether positive or, potentially, negative
- Anticipate potential pitfalls
