One of the most prominent Management buzz phrases is “Organizational Culture”, and given the difficulty most organizations encounter as they attempt to change their existing ‘Culture’, or even as they try to define it, ‘Culture’ would appear to have almost magical incomprehensible properties.
Defined simplistically, ‘Culture’ is a collection of specific behaviours that are in synch with the often unstated values of the organization, and it supports and reinforces a sometimes similarly unstated vision of our work environment.
The assumption is that If we know our values, our vision, and If we can specifically identify the currently existing behaviours, then we might be able to define and implement better replacements.
If we can do all this, then perhaps we can put together a transition plan to move from the existing ‘undesirable culture’ to the more desirable ‘future culture’.
Notice all the qualifiers signifying uncertainty… nothing about understanding ‘Culture’ is easy, mostly because our perception is that, ‘Culture is just is what it is’, and everything about changing a ‘Culture’ becomes even more difficult because of this perception.
In this webinar Peter will attempt to dig a bit deeper into the buzz phrase we’ve all come to love and loathe.
Presenter: Peter de Jager
Peter de Jager (LinkedIn profile @pdejager) is a very highly respected keynote speaker/writer/consultant on the issues relating to managing change of all shapes and sizes in all types of organizations. He has published hundreds of articles on Problem Solving, Creativity and Change Management – to the impact of technology on areas such as Privacy, Security and Business Issues appearing in publications such as The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Futurist and Scientific American.
Peter is best known to IT audiences for his efforts to create responsible awareness of the Y2K issue – For which he received several awards from IT associations and Govt. Agencies. He has also written several regular columns and presented sessions to world class organizations.
Peter has spoken in over 35 countries recognized worldwide as an exciting, humorous, provocative and engaging speaker.
Peter de Jager’s Kindle publications include A Pocket Full Of Change about Organizational Change, So? You’re a Manager… Now What?, and Truth Picks Vol I. A Truth Pick is a short, pointed commentary on a popular quote – For Peter these “Truth Picks” was a personal morning meditation he was publishing – which blossomed until several thousand people were reading them on a daily basis.
Peter’s presentations and workshops are highly interactive, fun, irreverent to mistaken ideas and most distinctively – provocative. He entices the audience, by demonstrating conflicts between their stated beliefs and behaviors, to think differently about what they thought they knew.
