Art and science of cultural change training program

Implementing cultural-change requires a balance between the human and technical aspects of change. The change strategy, support structure, and project set-up must have a strong technical foundation. Yet the success of most change efforts is determined by the human components of change, such as: peoples’ resistance, buy-in, motivation, and engagement. This requires an artistic ability to deal with the emotions and inhibitors associated to all cultural-change efforts based on an in-depth understanding of both the human and technical sides of change.
