Overview

Shape the future of your organisation

The long-term prosperity and resilience of your organisation hinges on the culture that shapes it: the values, beliefs, assumptions and practices that drive good (or bad) behaviours, and optimal (or unsatisfactory) business results and outcomes. Whether a company innovates and thrives or is undermined by subpar performance or even scandal, depends on its leaders' ability to articulate, model and align employee thinking with the right corporate culture.

Leading Organisational Culture exposes you to the latest, cutting-edge thinking and a raft of real-world best practices in leading culture, led by expert faculty, experienced in consulting and coaching senior leaders on the topic of organisational culture and whose industry influence spans across sectors. Participants are empowered with the insights, the frameworks and the tools to shape the thinking, behaviours and pan-organisational processes to secure the future of your business.

Leading Organisational Culture: Faculty Overview

Measuring Organisational Culture with AI

How organisations can learn from feedback

"It’s culture that determines and explains behaviour at the micro-level of work—things like risk-taking, speaking up and innovation, as well as the macro-level of performance and growth, or accidents and corporate scandals. In our new programme, we seek to arm leaders with new ways to think about culture, new tools that leverage big data and new procedural frameworks and practices to shape better behaviours and outcomes."

Dr Tom Reader and Professor Alex Gillespie

How you learn

Leading Organisational Culture leverages the very latest thinking and research on corporate culture, including emerging AI and big-data powered methods to capture critical insights.

Sessions are highly interactive and participative, at the end of the week, each participant will prepare and present a plan for how they will take their learning forward.

Leading Organisational Culture draws on more than 10 years of front-line research and consulting experiences that spans a huge diversity of organisations, sectors and industries.
