Shaping An Effective Business Culture

Workshop: 
Shaping An Effective Business Culture

Training Workshop – Module Overview

Is Your Organization’s Culture An Asset Or A Liability?
Managing culture is among the most important challenges facing organizational leaders. At one extreme are the managers who create cultures that provide clear competitive advantages for their organizations. At the other extreme are the managers who, perhaps inadvertently or unknowingly, promote cultures that drive their companies out of business.

Innesskirk’s innovative “Shaping An Effective Business Culture” provides an excellent awareness of the behaviors integral to lead and build an achievement-focused, constructive organizational culture. Understanding culture is imperative, but knowing how to manage culture is the determining factor for the organization’s future success. This workshop boosts awareness and understanding of methods available to transform the current operational culture into an ideal business culture.

Tutorial sessions, case studies, practical exercises, presentations and syndicate work make this a proactive, hands-on workshop.
