An excellent refresher on the importance of establishing a corporate culture to drive high performance in the workplace! I particularly enjoyed taking a deeper dive into the five phases of workplace tribes as nothing is more important at work. The instructor provided useful supporting materials which serve as a great reference.

A very well structured course providing insight into how to move an organization from unmotivated clock watchers to high performance first/fast followers of a new corporate vision. Truly highlights the wide gap between companies with poor leadership and those that inspire their employees with a shared vision they can support.

I appreciate the layout of this presentation. A few months ago I accepted a job with a company because I thought it exhibited a profound culture. Today, I am extremely baffled by how fooled I was, and I believe others are catching on as it shows in the increased turnover.

very informative and it reaches set objective. We always know what Culture in a company is and see the need of improving it but how to go about doing that is always the challenge. The course offers a step by step process on how to do that, which is excellent!

Presentation is well organized, logically presented and accurately supported by slides. Speaker is thoughtful and well spoken. While not particularly inspiring, his apparent intellectual interest in the subject helps to engage the listener.

Great discussion of building a culture. This class was very practical - it defined how to think about the culture, how to implement the ideas and how to monitor and update the culture.

Interesting course. Makes one realize that while there are common themes for success, changing culture within established companies is a very real (and often very difficult) challenge.

This course contains a meaningful plan for changing oraganization culture, which is rare in my experience. Other courses speak mostly about leadership, but it is not enough.

Over all a bit lenghty, interesting subject but a bit too long over two hours, I would have appreciated more real life examples instead of multiple definitions
