Culture's Impact on Change

Event Description: Think about any change program that you’ve tried to achieve or were a part of. Now think what impact did your culture have on the success of that change? More often than not my clients tell me that their “culture” is holding them back from the changes they want to make in business. The people aren’t engaged and are rejecting the new way of working. Have you thought about how much of that is to do with the individual and how much is systemic? This talk explores the business culture as a living ecosystem and the impact that this system has on the individuals ability to make change in business. Through case studies we explore why change failed and how understanding the ecosystem would have created a different outcome
