Topic:

The novel Coronavirus has thrown the world into a flurry. Some organizations are suddenly working remotely, a lucky few can take their whole business model online, while other businesses are stalling completely, or just holding on by tooth and nail. And then, suddenly, we are “reopening shop”, a “New Normal” is dawning, or is it..?
Initiatives to become “more agile” have been crammed into some of these changes and while everyone feels pressed to act more quickly and “more agile”, many still don’t know what that means – are we talking mindset in the broadest possible sense, are we referring to IT project methodology, and if so, how can it be transferred to org changes?

This talk explores:

  • what constitutes a Culture Change
  • how the mindset in Agile relates to the original Agile Manifesto
  • how to move towards a culture that invites Agile, Innovation & Change

This interactive talk explores the strategic importance of corporate culture for organizational moves towards Innovation. It shows which factors contribute to the success of Organizational Change towards Adaptability and Readiness, in a way that is thought-provoking, entertaining, and inspiring.

Participants will learn
- to list the 4 basic types of organizational culture
- to explain why change management is a strategic asset in organizations and projects
- to describe how organizational culture (and project culture) can foster or hinder innovation
- to understand how to tackle organizational change and how to deal with resistance
- Discuss the leadership and facilitation tools introduced in the presentation
- Apply these tools in their own leadership and team facilitation roles
