How to Strengthen Your Organization’s Cultural Capital and Resiliency

 

On October 15, 2009, Wray Group presents at the annual conference for the Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists of BC on the topic of strengthening your organization's cultural capital and resiliency, a subject which is of great interest given the turbulent times we are facing.

If there is one thing that companies are learning in the current economic crisis, it is the importance of resilience — the ability of an organization to withstand shocks and remain sustainable under prolonged periods of duress.

The current crisis shows us that organizations that are strong on the inside also are strong on the outside. Being strong on the inside means having a values-driven culture, a highly aligned, cohesive and effective leadership team, a low level of cultural entropy, and a high level of staff engagement.

In this conference workshop, we will present the characteristics of resilient companies and seven actions to build your company’s resilience, based on Dr. Richard Barrett’s work on mapping values and tools for cultural transformation. Insights from this session will support you in traversing the economic downturn, and place you in a strong position for success when normalcy returns.
