COMPANY CULTURE AND HOW TO BUILD IT: Performance Together on Purpose. When productivity is flagging and people are being uncooperative, unproductive and giving up, often the response is we’ve got a culture problem, let’s improve our culture. Building a strong and inclusive culture is the most popular solution to the modern organizational dilemma of how to create resilience and grit in the struggle to remain competitive and productive.
However, without truly understanding the components of culture and how they can best function together, this can prove to be a difficult if not impossible task. How well do we really understand exactly what culture is and why we humans have it, regardless of whether we have inherited or built it on purpose? How could we seek as an organization, company or brand to design and build a culture that connects us, setting us up for success as we work together with a common purpose toward a unified goal?
In this highly interactive and engaging keynote Mark takes the audience on a journey to understanding culture - the innate system that helps people work together and unconsciously cooperate - its components, mechanics, how and why it can work to optimize performance and productivity.
Among the key takeaways from this keynote are understanding the building blocks of culture - values, beliefs, rituals, customs, goals, concerns and signals - how they function together, and how to best collaborate on, design and build a company culture that supports and optimizes growth, performance and productivity. We look at how cultures can collide and conflict, and exactly how to fix this with understanding, acceptance, and cooperation.
Just like a brand, your organization has a culture. Start your journey to building it with purpose, together, today.
This keynote will help your organization:
- Demystify Culture: Understand what culture and how it impacts your team
- Unlock Culture's Power: Uncover cultures secrets for real collaboration.
- Build Your Dream Culture: Learn practical strategies for collaborating with purpose
- Bridge Cultural Gaps: Navigate differences and build bridges within your team
