Using Collaborative Networks to Drive Culture Renovation with Rob Cross

Successfully changing organizational culture is one of the toughest challenges leaders face—i4cp research reveals that only 15% of companies worldwide can achieve sustained culture change.

A key component of this process is understanding the internal networks within your organization—how employees connect and collaborate. In Culture Renovation®, multiple steps in the blueprint emphasize the importance of leveraging these networks to identify shared values and influence culture transformation.

In this recent session of i4cp's Next Practices Weekly series, Rob Cross, Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership at Babson College and SVP of Research at i4cp, explores the critical role collaborative networks play in driving culture renovation.

Drawing from decades of work with hundreds of companies, Rob and our team discuss:

• How Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) uncovers hidden opinion leaders and potential gridlock points in culture change efforts.
• The impact of positive and negative culture carriers on cultural adoption, and how leaders can engage each group differently.
• Ways to manage trust and energy within teams to enhance collaboration, especially in hybrid work environments.
