Unlocking The Culture Code

“Strategy & Execution May Be King. But Culture Is King Kong” Rick Gilmore

It would be fair to say we now live and work in an age of commoditisation.

Which is a fancy way of saying, we now live and work in a time where competitors have access to virtually the same resources as each other. Products, services, and pricing models can all seem the same and every year it can feel harder to stand out.

But the good news is, culture is one area left standing that can’t be copied or commoditised.
Few would doubt that building an authentic, robust and resilient culture is one serious way to –

• Set up one organisation’s performance above another’s,
• Drive differentiation,
• And create long term competitive edge and business success.

In this presentation Rick explores why many believe culture is senior to strategy and execution and how to create a business culture that outperforms all others.

In this game changing talk you will learn:

• Why it’s critical to create a culture based on respect and right relationship that brings out the best in you and not the worst.
• New ways to apply proven strategies and techniques for creating an inspired workplace that supports true human development and peak performance.
• How to empower ownership of culture and reverse a culture of resistance and reluctance.
• Why settling for a weak and wishy washy culture is lethal for business success.
• How to create a culture that fuels what’s possible and enjoy financially rewarding and fulfilling work.
• And much more
