Course Overview

The Culture Transformation & Change Leadership Training Course is a high-impact, five-day executive learning programme open to professionals from public, private and non-profit organisations. It goes beyond conventional culture training, equipping participants with the behavioural, leadership, systems and digital capabilities required to diagnose organisational culture, influence behaviour and translate culture change into measurable organisational performance.

The programme integrates contemporary global thinking on culture transformation, organisational psychology, behavioural science, change leadership, AI-enabled work, digital transformation, employee experience, governance, data-informed decision-making and the future of work. Case studies and practical activities draw on cross-sector and African organisational contexts.

Introduction

Organisational culture is shaped not only by stated values, but by leadership behaviour, routines, incentives, systems, communication, employee experience and the informal norms that influence how work gets done. Sustainable culture transformation therefore requires leaders who can diagnose the current culture, understand the forces sustaining it and deliberately build the behaviours and systems required for the desired culture.

This programme provides a practical environment for participants to examine organisational culture through strategic, behavioural, technological and governance lenses, while developing practical interventions that can be applied within their own organisations.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:

  • Build a shared understanding of organisational culture and its relationship with strategy, performance, risk and institutional reputation.
  • Strengthen participants’ ability to diagnose organisational culture using evidence, behavioural indicators and employee experience signals.
  • Develop practical capabilities for leading culture change across different levels, functions and stakeholder groups.
  • Strengthen collaboration, psychological safety, trust, accountability and constructive challenge across teams and organisations.
  • Apply behavioural science and change psychology to shift habits, mindsets and organisational norms.
  • Explore the implications of AI, automation, digitalisation and the future of work for organisational culture and leadership.
  • Develop practical approaches for communicating change, managing resistance and building employee ownership.
  • Design culture interventions that are measurable, sustainable and aligned to corporate strategy.
  • Develop a practical Culture Change Action Framework that participants can adapt for implementation in their respective organisations.
