Day 1:

Strategy & Culture

May 19, 2022
10:00AM - 1:30PM GMT+4

Culture eats strategy for breakfast” as Peter F. Drucker would say. But why exactly?

In Day 1 we will explore several vital questions around that statement, and why the culture of your company always determines success regardless of how effective your strategy may be.

  •  What is culture and what is the link between culture and strategy: While strategy defines direction and focus, culture is the habitat in which strategy lives or dies.
  •  Does culture drive strategy and what happens when culture meets strategy
  •  Types of culture and their business consequences
  •  The Effect of Organizational Culture on Decision Making

Day 2:

Leveraging Cultural Diversity

May 26, 2022

"WHAT managers across the world are doing is the same
HOW they do it – that depends on their tradition and culture".

In Day 2 we will find out how measuring national culture can be instrumental in enhancing organizational performance and employees' engagement reaching beyond typical DE&I work.

  •  What are the six dimensions of national culture and how these dimensions distinguish countries (rather than individuals) from each other.
  •  How to use the Culture Compass ™ to assess individual preferences and your own cultural programming: Am I really a typical Emirati, German, Lebanese….?
    What pitfalls can I expect interacting with other nationalities
  •  Defining culture diversity and how to successfully manage it and gain its full value in the workplace
  •  The role of National culture in shaping the managerial decision-making & style
