Does the culture of your organization seem to be working against getting things done, adapting to changes, and accomplishing key goals? If so, the bad news is that the culture that has emerged can likely be attributed to you, your leadership team, and the strategies, structures and systems you have put into place. At the same time, the good news is (once again) that the culture that has emerged can likely be attributed to you and your leadership team—and therefore you can begin taking it in a new direction tomorrow.

One of the key challenges of transformation, however, is identifying the culture that is "right" for your organization and that can be used to focus and select specific change initiatives. This special presentation highlights a process for quantifying the ideal culture in terms of values, beliefs and the behaviors that should be expected of members to maximize the effectiveness of the organization. Dr. Robert A. Cooke, CEO of Human Synergistics International and Associate Professor Emeritus at University of Illinois at Chicago, will take you through this process using his Organizational Culture Inventory ®. The culture inventory is one of the most widely-used organizational surveys in the world and has been the centerpiece for numerous organizational transformation initiatives.

At this session, you’ll not only learn a "language" for quantifying and describing your ideal culture but also gain insights into how Constructive cultural norms lead to organizational effectiveness and sustainability. Additionally, you’ll gain insights about the levers that leaders can implement to move the cultures of their organizations toward the ideal.
