Prior to the program, you will complete an OCP designed to provide a snapshot of the Current Culture in your firm as perceived by your employees. The OCP compares the Current Culture (as assessed by employees) to the Culture Needed (as defined by senior managers in your company). It also compares the culture profile of your company to the average culture profile of other companies that participated.

With initial guidance from faculty, you will be organized into study groups that provide you with an opportunity to discuss and ideate with others about your organization’s culture diagnosis and respective plan for evolving their culture. At the end of the program, you should be confident with the analysis and plan that you can implement upon your return to work.

Explore how you can leverage culture as a strategic tool to balance short- and long-term goals, retain an innovative edge, and avoid the pitfalls of “success syndrome.” By examining culture as a social control system linked to strategic objectives, you will gain a practical framework and tools to shape and transform culture in ways that enhance both daily operations and future innovation.

Build on the Organizational Culture Profile (OCP) to guide you in shaping culture through actionable insights and managerial levers. By examining real-world cases, you will explore how to apply diagnostic tools and leverage factors such as peer involvement, leadership styles, job design, incentives, and transparency to foster a resilient and cohesive organizational culture.

Explore cutting-edge topics essential for navigating today’s rapidly evolving workplace landscape. Hear from a range of senior executives about the evolving dynamics affecting the effective management of culture such as the rise of Artificial Intelligence and hybrid work environments.
