Episode 4: De-risking cultural change: a strategic approach to organizational transformation
Published on 12 November 2024 • Hosted by Dr Lisa Colledge
In most organizations, cultural change is seen as a daunting, risky venture. Yet, it is vital for the growth and longevity of a business.
In this episode of Culture by Neurodesign, I break down my approach to transforming organizations by managing the risks associated with cultural change. I liken this kind of transformation to the process of launching a new product—there are uncertainties, but with the right steps, it’s no more risky than any other large initiative.
I highlight four key elements shared by all successful cultural change programs: leadership engagement, common purpose, upskilling, and process alignment. These pillars set the foundation for successful change, ensuring that your organization is equipped to navigate the complexities ahead.
But I also share three additional strategies from my own experience that make a difference: leveraging internal influencers, involving employees directly in the process, and adopting an agile mindset. These steps help embed the changes deeply into the organization, ensuring sustainable, long-lasting transformation.
If your company is considering a cultural shift, remember: cultural change is a skill set like any other, and it can be successfully managed.
