Corporate “culture” change and other oxymorons

Loading player...
Transformation is a process, not a product.

In this episode Bronwyn and Sharon talk about when therapy doesn’t work, how culture is not a commodity, why transformation fails, and why what you do matters more than what you say (however much you paid an internal branding consultancy to tell you otherwise).

Stay tuned for:
- PowerPoint wastelands
- Unicorn mysteries
- Weaponised mediocrity
- Where to find missing motivation
- and more.

If you hope to “transform” anything or anyone, listen up, before you waste your shareholders’ money - and your own precious time.
