Overview:
Many public sector organisational change efforts fail despite carefully formulated strategies, structures and processes because of a lack of understanding of the organisation’s culture. Even if change initiatives do not target the organisational culture directly, they usually require a cultural shift in order to succeed. Culture operates at a deep level of beliefs, assumptions and values, and understanding its complexity is essential for those leading and implementing change.
In this one-day course, we explore frameworks for analysing organisational culture, consider why culture is difficult to manage and develop strategies for successfully delivering culture change in the public sector.
Who should attend:
Private and public sector managers who have responsibility for designing and/or implementing initiatives that directly or indirectly involve culture change.
Learning objectives:
Participants will:
•explore frameworks for analysing organisational culture
•consider why culture is difficult to manage
•develop strategies for successfully delivering culture change.
Course outline:

Course format:
This is a one-day interactive course with a maximum of 16 participants.
