ADAPTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
How do you create a work environment that fosters innovation and contributes to an organization's growth instead of hindering it?

Her mission is to help leaders align personal and organizational cultural and functional divisions so they can thrive in the changing business world.

Session description
Companies wishing to compete successfully in the market need innovation - whether product and technological, or process and organizational. They need to constantly improve their offerings and production methods in order to create unique customer value and scale up their operations.
Developing and implementing needed changes has ceased to be the domain of individuals, the so-called "change agents," and has become a task involving the entire organization. What is needed, therefore, is an organizational culture that gives space for experimentation and rewards valuable ideas, and does not punish mistakes, but allows valuable lessons to be learned for the future. What elements make up a culture of innovation? How can leaders create it and communicate its values?
