Championing culture change is challenging in and of itself, but leading a cultural transformation of a well-established company can feel daunting, if not impossible. The implications for changing a company's mission and values are significant both for the employees and the business, and yet today's ever-changing business landscape requires an equally adaptive cultural response.

​

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Identify when a larger cultural transformation is necessary.
