About the event

Organisational culture plays a pivotal role in achieving business outcomes, but influencing it requires a deep understanding of its complexities. This session will explore how culture evolves, how subcultures form, and the role leadership plays in shaping both. Sharing practical tools for analysing and influencing an organisation’s culture, including the Congruence Model and the Culture Web. By the end of this session, attendees will have clear actions to help create a learning culture within their organisation, ensuring long-term success and adaptability.

Through storytelling, group discussions, and analysis, the session will dive into how culture is influenced by historical context, leadership behaviours, and organisational values. It will also explore psychological culture, the importance of aligning leadership actions with cultural goals, and how to engage people in co-creating the culture that will drive success.
