“Leading Culture Change was an excellent day of learning, sharing and insight... a relaxed format with a well-organised structure - and the workbook is brilliant.” Kerry Russo – Campus Manager, Barrier Reef Institute of TAFE

“Leading Culture Change was very thought provoking – a good program, well worth the time to get my management team on board with leading cultural change.” Darren Campbell – Department of Justice

Leading Culture Change -- what this Program is About...

Culture change is on every leader’s lips nowadays. It’s the secret ‘X’ factor in organisation change success or failure. Culture ultimately limits or enlarges what’s possible in an organisation. Research repeatedly shows that culture profoundly effects every facet of organisational life – our attitudes, behaviour, what we feel, how we think, act, respond to pressures, problems and challenges and how receptive we are to change and innovation.

Most leaders are acutely aware how constructive cultures help people perform, collaborate, connect and thrive. They’re equally aware how dislocated cultures breed bad behaviour, stress, toxicity and sub-performance. “We need to change the culture” is a much-repeated mantra heard in many management meetings, yet culture is notoriously difficult to change. While there are no magic bullets or quick-fixes, if you can understand a culture, and learn some lessons about what seems to work and what doesn’t, then you have a chance of changing it for the better. And that’s what Leading Culture Change is all about.

This 1 or 2-day clinic complements our Learning to Lead Change program. Coming along can help equip you to handle a culture change effort better – whether you’re leading a team, a division or a whole organisation. You’ll take away tools and ideas to get started in earnest on your culture change challenge.  It aims to help you:

Come to grips with what all this culture change stuff is about Take positive steps to create a more constructive team/workplace culture Diagnose what your current culture is like and identify ways to revitalise it Re-energise your culture, get people reconnected to and reduce toxicity Make your workplace a more warm, welcoming and happier place to be Develop strategies and processes to revitalise and transform your culture

As with all our learning programs, Leading Culture Change can be conducted in-house as an adjunct to your culture change efforts, an extension to a general organisation change program or as part of your leadership development strategy.

The Change Forum also creates and conducts customised Culture Scans based on our 7 Dimension Model, tailored to your organisation context, to give you a snapshot of your culture and help get you started on the right path to cultural revitalisation. Scans can be administered externally by us or you can choose to purchase a self-directed version that can be conducted internally by you. We also run team-building and cultural development clinics on a range of topics that can strengthen and support your current culture change programs.
