Your values on the wall aren’t your culture.

Organizations spend a lot of time defining values and designing culture from the top down. But culture is also being created every day—in conversations, decisions, behaviors, teams, and local contexts.

For global and hybrid organizations, these different interpretations are inevitable. Instead of automatically treating variation as dysfunction, what if leaders learned to understand and work with it?

This live conversation will explore culture as an operating reality and help you examine the difference between the culture you intended to create and the culture your people actually experience.

We’ll talk about how to:

⫸ Recognize cultural variation as differentiation, not automatically dysfunction

⫸ Map how organizational values are actually lived across teams and geographies

⫸ Understand culture as a systems and operating conversation, not simply a “soft” one
