Using its proven formula for creating a successful online learning experience, Kilmann Diagnostics (KD) has just tackled the illusive challenge of how to mange cultural change in the workplace. KDs new online course on Culture Management provides work groups with the latest theory and methods for identifying and closing their most troublesome culture-gaps: the difference between their self-defeating behavioral habits from the past and the kind of trustworthy, supportive, and innovative behavior thats needed for success in todays fast-paced turbulent economy.
In a six-hour, recorded, online course, KD brings together an effective blend of background theory, self-report assessments, work sheets for pinpointing culture-gaps, and clear guidelines for then implementing a well-developed process of cultural change. This online course is especially suited for cultural change agents: HR personnel, operating managers, team leaders, consultants, coaches, and other facilitators of organizational change and improvement.
In the Culture Management Course, right after some background material is provided on the meaning and impact of cultural forces, participants learn to write out two sets of lists: (1) the actual norms and (2) the desired norms in the workplace.
Regarding the actual norms (the unwritten, unspoken rules from the past), this first list typically includes: Dont disagree with your boss. “Dont get caught sharing information with other groups. Dont rock the boat. “Dont make waves.
Yet the second list of desired norms is usually quite the opposite: Tell the boss what he needs to know to get the job done. Help other groups; were all on the same team. Take the lead in bringing new ideas out in the open. “Try new ways of doing things.
Participants in the course then take the Kilmann-Saxton Culture-Gap
