SUMMARY:On Topic - Culture Before Tools: The Missing Prerequisite to Sustainable Change
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations fail at change not because they chose the wrong tools\, but because they ignored the cultural conditions required for those tools to work.\n\n\n\nThis talk gives leaders a practical\, experience-driven framework for diagnosing cultural readiness\, avoiding expensive CI failures\, and sequencing change in a way that actually sticks.\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to:\n\n\n	Identify when Continuous Improvement is premature and when it is appropriate\n	Recognize cultural anti-patterns that silently kill change efforts\n	Sequence trust\, leadership behavior\, and improvement/change management work correctly\n	Avoid wasting capital on consultants\, tools\, and programs that cannot succeed yet\n	Leave with a practical readiness checklist that they can apply immediately.\n\n\n\n\nChoice to join via Zoom or in person at our Conference Room. Zoom link will be sent out closer to the event. Limited in person seating available.
