  • New York, NY - Apr 19, 2010 - Apr 20, 2010

How can culture be changed in an intentional way? Increasingly, business leaders are advocating for culture change in their organizations. Yet, how can this happen given that organizational culture is the organic accumulation of behaviors over time? This one-day workshop will:

  • Introduce you to conceptual frameworks to better understand organizational culture
  • Guide you in diagnosing your own organization's culture
  • Consider cultural fit with your strategic business objectives
  • Identify distinct subcultures and factors contributing to them
  • Map purposeful interventions that are likely to impact your organization's culture

Key Topics

  • Cultural frameworks (drawing from Schein, Gagliardi, and others)
  • Characteristics and implications of loose and tight cultures
  • Taboos and sacred cows: Are they open or hidden? Positive or negative in impact?
  • Diagnosing organizational culture
  • Cultural anchoring and alignment with environment

Who Will Benefit

OD consultants, HR professionals, and consultants who are engaged in complex change initiatives at the cultural level; directors and managers who want to deepen their understanding and ability to effect culture change
