Workshop on Workplace Culture & Change Management

Theme: Quantify organizational culture and climate to drive engagement and performance

Dates: 23^rd – 27^th Oct, 2017

Venue: Travellers’ Beach Hotel, Mombasa

Application Deadline: 19^th Oct, 2017

Our focus is on exploring the question of organizational or workplace culture in the context of developing a culture that is “responsive to organizational change and renewal”. This is necessary as all organizations are undergoing exponential organizational transformation. To transform an organization the culture and values of the organization need to be understood and the desirable culture and values need to be identified.

This workshop is not about identifying the different cultures in organizations, about diversity or cross-cultural awareness, about developing strategies for including cultural diversity into your system. Rather it is about providing some basic tools for you as a leader, manager, supervisor or staff member to understand and become more aware of culture, to identify with your team the desired culture or subculture and values that you wish to work in, and for you as change agents to implement cultural change.

We will apply various proven concepts and frameworks of change management including:

• Who moved my cheese by Spencer Johnson
• Unfreeze, Change, Refreeze by Kurt Lewin
• The 8-Step model in Leading Change by  John F. Kotter
