Culture change in Organizations
An introduction to Organizational Culture and its implications for strategic change initiatives.
In today’s fast-moving, complex world, a brilliant strategy can only go so far if it’s not supported by the right culture. In fact, 84% of a company’s value now comes from its people—their skills, talents, values, and how they show up to work every day. If the culture isn’t aligned with the mission, even the best ideas struggle to gain traction.
This two-module course is designed for leaders and change agents who want to understand the deep roots of organizational culture and how to harness it for strategic success. You’ll learn how to assess culture using both data and dialogue, identify key drivers for change, and turn insights into action. From interpreting engagement surveys to aligning teams with clear communication and purpose, we’ll equip you with the tools to lead with intention.
