Culture Brokers: Catalysts for Change in the 21st Century

What is the toughest task for leaders in effecting change? Mobilizing diverse people throughout the organization to do adaptive work!

R. Heifetz & D. Laurie, Harvard Business Review
When our deeply held beliefs are challenged, when the values that made us successful become less relevant, when legitimate yet competing perspectives emerge - adaptive work is required! Break Down the Barriers

 

THE NEED
Mobilizing an organization to adapt its behaviors in order to succeed in the new business environment is critical. Without such change, any company would stumble. In order to have transformed organizations, we need transformed people. We need leaders who are the catalysts for adaptive change. Culture brokers are people who can help break down long-standing behavior patterns of hierarchy and control and then create an environment of inclusion and collective wisdom. Culture brokers stimulate people to adapt to their new roles and the new realities of work. Culture brokers act as linking agents to repair, renew and revise relationships from the interpersonal to the systems level so that organizations can build capacity from within to adapt to change.

WHAT WE OFFER
Bridges in Organizations. Inc. in collaboration with the organizational transformation firm, Harmony, has developed an intensive facilitation program for building internal organizational capacity for adaptative change. Based on a set of shored standards, we work in partnership with our client organizations to choose and prepare new leaders. We prepare them to model and facilitate change through their skills, self-motivation, commitment, risk-taking, collaboration and creativity.

We offer a nine-day (three 3-day modules) intensive training program which is spread over a four- month period. It includes state of the art technology in whole systems theory, coaching, emotional intelligence, learning and organizational transformation. We provide the best in assessment tools and supportive materials and we further guarantee support to participants until they have achieved their stated goals.

GOALS

  1. Build internal capacity for a new kind of organization able to easily adapt to change and use the collective wisdom for corporate gain.
  2. Prepare a cadre of people to:
    • Identify challenges and frame key questions and issues.
    • Intervene in underlying structures/patterns that keep the organization stuck.
    • Help people negotiate conflicts and regulate distress.
    • Address competing yet legitimate perspectives for the effective coordination of action.
    • Support people to adapt to their new roles and the new realities of work.
    • Act as linking agents to repair, renew and revise relationships from the interpersonal to the systems level.
