Sessions
Every organization has its own unique culture that directly impacts its ability to achieve or miss its targets. The overall value and success of an organization is closely tied with its internal ability to interact, respond, and react to its external environment. It is an organization's culture that influences that ability and can therefore become a significant area of strategic advantage. In this session, we will explore the results of a 2011 empirical study of how culture is actually learned by employees, review an audit instrument for assessing an organization's existing culture, and gain insight into the best cultural practices of organizations that are considered great workplaces and typically outperform competitors using their culture as a differentiator.
