Description

A guide on how to change the cultural blueprint of your organization, providing a practical framework for changing multicultural elements for an overall cohesive cultural transformation. A recent study by PwC found that 96% of executives and managers feel that culture change is needed within their organizations. The majority believe that their organization is in need of a major cultural overhaul, and almost half do not think their culture is being managed effectively. Making Culture Work focuses on how to change the cultural blueprint of an organization, providing a practical framework for changing multi-cultural elements for an overall, cohesive cultural transformation. It is based on the first-hand experiences, observations and empirical research of Marc Stigter and Cary Cooper. It features first-hand interviews with C-suite executives of public, private and not-for-profit organizations in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand. As established authors in the business field, Marc and Cary write in an engaging style, distilling academic research and decades of insight into practical and accessible guidance.
