Navigating the complexities of culture change

Abstract

The research undertaken for this thesis synthesises my experience as a consultant in culture and change management, a university visiting lecturer in change management, a business magazine contributor and a student of social ecology. It is the distillation of a drive to navigate the depths and complexities of culture change - to find out what it means in organisations, how it works, why it matters and how culture change in organisations can be facilitated to achieve results for the people who work in them as well as for the bottom line. The questions I pursue include:- What is culture in the context of the corporate world? What do leaders say about the importance of culture and its impact on performance? How can culture change be implemented successfully in organisations?
