The Ultimate Culture and Performance Learning Experience

Presented by Human Synergistics International, a sponsor of the OD Network of Chicago

Program Summary

Organizational culture and its impact on individuals, organizations, and even society is a constant subject of interest. Culture is finally a part of leadership team discussions at most organizations. Unfortunately, few truly understand it despite most CEOs reporting culture as being critical to business success. The lack of understanding and intentional action, at a minimum, undermines change efforts and, at its worst, can lead to totally unacceptable behavior.

A new learning approach is needed to help change agents understand the complexities of culture, leadership, and the connection to performance improvement in an accelerated environment. The Culture Journey Learning Experience was recently created to combine peer learning with targeted education based on facts and fundamentals about culture, climate, and change management that are not widely understood. This highly interactive session was developed in coordination with Root Inc. and is facilitated in tables of 6-10 using a new Root Learning Map®, table script, and other tools.
