Description:

Let’s admit it: ‘organizational culture’ can be fuzzy to pin down. In this workshop, we ‘demystify’ organizational culture. You will learn how you can ‘see’ culture, how it shows up in practical ways, and what you can do as a leader or manager when you want to influence or shape culture.

Attendees get answers to important questions such as:

• What in the current culture of your nonprofit supports your organization’s strategic direction? And what does not?
• Why it’s important to heed any gap between your espoused (aspirational) culture and the real in-use behaviors, habits and actions.
• Finally, you will walk away with practical levers and tools for culture change as well as clarity on what are the first critical actions you can take following the session.

We will keep you engaged through the use of individual reflection exercises, take-home worksheets and plenary as well as small group work based on discussion prompts and case studies.
