Company culture initiatives are in full swing as everyone tries to write the playbook for culture in a hybrid environment. Yet, for years, too many leaders have approached culture in a fragmented way, focusing on perks and nebulous values without integrating them into the organizational system. 

Melissa Daimler, Chief Learning Officer of Udemy and recent author of ReCulturing, argues that it’s crucial to take a systems approach to culture – one focused on behaviors, processes and practices – and integrate it with the company’s purpose and strategy. With over two decades of experience leading learning and organizational development at companies like Adobe, Twitter, WeWork, and now Udemy, Melissa will share the importance of not only a company’s strategy, but also the culture. She will share how to “disintegrate” what no longer serves the company and “remake” their culture – and it’s the key to navigating this next evolution of work. 

Melissa will also share what she’s learned over her two decades in the organizational development field along with real-world stories recounting what has and hasn’t worked at some of today’s largest and most influential companies. She has firsthand, working knowledge on what makes a company successful – or crash and burn.

In this session, you will learn:

• The systems approach to organizational change and culture
• The definition of culture, agnostic of any office
• How to create the values-based behaviors that are the cornerstone of any great company culture
• How to create a learning strategy that reinforces your culture.
