How to succeed in your culture transformation journey

The conversation around culture is intensifying, as organisations are recognising the need to focus on culture to enhance their competitive advantage. Changing expectations of customers and employees in today’s scene, especially following “The Great Resignation” and ESG, require organisations to become truly people-centric and take a real look at how culture can drive the right behaviors that create favourable business results. It is now even more critical for organisations to build, change or enhance their culture with behaviours that will drive commitment and performance. What is most challenging for organisations though, is knowing where to start and how to focus on culture along with other competing priorities.

In light of this unique and not-to-be-missed training, the presenters will share their extensive knowledge of culture transformation within organisations. More specifically, they will focus on the culture change methodology, from start to end, in ensuring a smooth, yet effective transformation journey to achieve the culture aspiration.

• describe the culture change methodology and process
• apply the culture change methodology to reinforce the favourable behaviours that will drive commitment and performance
