The following themes are introduced: (a) “Millions of Moments” Shape Culture,(b) Organizational culture accelerates strategy implementation (or impedes it), c) How to change culture rapidly, (d) Rapid culture change.
The presentation focused on the following topics:
- How culture is formed in the first place
- Why how your culture was initially formed will not work in the future
- “Millions of moments” – how leaders unknowingly shape culture (for better or worse)
- How and why people behave the way they do – and how these behaviors are changed
- The 5-step process that leaders can use to cultivate new behaviors
- The project management approach for culture change
- Understanding and assessing your culture
