2022.07.21_July Change Summit - Why Change Initiatives Fail — Introducing UGRs

We're all familiar with the fact that many change initiatives fail to fulfill their potential. Why is that the case? Australian-based Steve Simpson believes the UGRs in an organization are a major contributor. UGRs - unwritten ground rules - are seldom talked about openly but drive people's behaviors. And they are most often completely overlooked in change initiatives. Address them - and the likelihood of successful change is dramatically increased. 

What you'll learn…  

• How UGRs drive people's behaviors and constitute a company's culture 
• How to unearth prevailing UGRs 
• How UGRs can be used to transform workplace cultures
