Culture by Design Training Course
This session is designed for experienced HR and People professionals who want to strengthen their capability in strategic HR, change management and supporting organisations through periods of transformation.
It is particularly relevant for HR teams working in organisations that are growing quickly, changing strategy, undergoing transformation, integrating an acquisition, or preparing for a future sale. In many cases, these situations follow a change in leadership, a shift in ambition, the introduction of new technologies, or a change in operating model that creates a gap between how the organisation has historically worked and how it must work in the future.
This course equips HR teams with the tools to deliberately design culture to support strategic change.
Culture plays a decisive role in whether organisations are able to execute their strategy consistently and effectively. Yet many organisations still treat culture as something intangible or organic rather than something that can be designed and managed deliberately.
Participants will learn how culture functions as a system of behaviours that enables an organisation to achieve its goals and why deliberate culture design becomes particularly important during periods of change. It explores how HR teams can work with leaders to translate business strategy into clear behavioural expectations and build a Culture Blueprint that defines the organisation’s direction, expected behaviours and supporting organisational systems.
You will learn a structured framework for diagnosing whether an organisation’s existing culture supports its future ambitions and for identifying the changes required to align people, leadership and organisational processes. Participants leave with a practical playbook they can use to lead a culture design programme within their own organisation.
