"Cracking the Corporate Culture Code" - Understanding the Unwritten Ground Rules of your organisation
with visiting Guest Speaker Steve Simpson.

• Pick up on a powerful concept to enhance organisational performance
  
• Get a better handle on your own organisation's culture
  
• Understand the strategic sequence of positive culture change
  

Organisational culture is the invisible but undeniable force that shapes people's behaviour in any organisation. Nothing is more important, nothing can be more potent than an organisation's culture - it is the key determinant of the performance of any work team or business. Up to now, managers have been aware of the concept of organisational culture, but because of a number of reasons have felt powerless to change it.

Steve Simpson smashes the myth that organisational culture is a complex and unmanageable phenomenon and introduces a concept that is as simple as it is powerful.  His new concept of Unwritten Ground Rules changes all that. UGRs® are what really drive business performance in an organisation. In essence, UGRs® enable people to understand organisational culture in simple and practical terms.

This understanding leads to the ability to manage and improve the organisation's culture. When the culture is 'right', an organisation has a significant competitive advantage that is impossible to replicate. While systems and products can be copied, culture cannot.

In the breakfast session Steve Simpson gives an overview of Unwritten Ground Rules-UGRs® - what they are and how they impact on individual and team behaviour, and you are guided through a range of UGRs that currently exist in many businesses so you can understand better the culture of your own organisation.

Feedback
"Steve Simpson's presentation I consider to be one of the best that I have ever seen, not only in Australia but around the world" - Judge John Gotjamanus

“We had Steve speak on cultural change a year ago in London and he went down an absolute storm.  People LOVED him and I very much enjoyed working with him...he was very professional, conscientious and amiable. His 'thing' is what he has termed the Unwritten Ground Rules of organisations and he gives people a blueprint of how to tap into what is really going on in an organisation in order to achieve effective change....’.
