To be agile in a complex, rapidly changing world, organizations need to address their culture on multiple levels, and simultaneously. What are the best strategies to do so?
Leadership
How do leaders provide structure and direction while supporting employee empowerment, passion, and ambition?
Management
- In an unpredictable world, how finite and specific are business goals and what happens when goals are not met?
- How do Human Capital Management policies balance the need for clarity and equity vs customizing policies to address evolving business needs and diverse employee needs and preferences?
Individual
- How can Human Capital Management leaders support the different ways that leaders and employees respond to continual change and stress?
- How do organizations emphasize inclusiveness and diversity of opinions and approaches?
- How do perceptions of "psychological safety" affect employees' willingness to be agile and take risks?
