Description
"Organizational culture is the key to organizational excellence... and the function of
leadership is the creation and management of culture." Edgar Schein
The aim of this event is to develop participants’ ability to ‘read’ their
organisation’s context, culture and current challenges.
Understanding your organisation and the context in which it operates is a critically
important capability for managers. It’s essential for strategic planning, change
management, for promoting organisational learning and for improving efficiency and
effectiveness.
In this interactive session you’ll have the opportunity to learn some simple tools for
structuring what you already know about the organisation’s environment and identify gaps
to be filled; draft a stakeholder analysis; diagnose organisational culture; and consider
how you can improve or sustain the best elements of this culture.
By the end participants should be able to:
* Outline the features of the organisation’s environment that are likely to have a
significant impact on its future.
* Identify the organisation’s stakeholders and say what their main interests are.
* Use some simple models to critically evaluate their own organisation’s culture(s)
and outline the implications of this for their work.
