1:10 PM Mobilise, Inspire and Reassure: How to Drive Successful Cultural Transformation in Crisis and Beyond

While many companies were already beginning to explore and embed flexible working practices, remote working and increased collaboration associated with this, change was slow. Continuous improvement has always been on the agenda, but it has taken a global crisis for many companies to be disrupted into rapid change in these areas. This session will uncover how crisis has been the catalyst for change for many institutions and will explore the challenges of embedding meaningful cultural changes to support these new ways of working.

  • Setting up for cultural transformation in a remote working era
  • Challenges of uncertainty, cognitive overload, change fatigue and disengagement
  • Instilling confidence by underpinning communications with tangible proof
  • Engendering a partnership between business leaders and transformation leads
