The Unwritten Rules of Change: A Workshop for Leaders and Innovators

In today's rapidly evolving world, organizations are constantly seeking ways to adapt, innovate, and thrive. But even with the most brilliant strategies and compelling communication, change initiatives often fall short. Why? Because there's a hidden force at play, a powerful undercurrent that shapes behavior and dictates how things really get done.

These are the unwritten rules: the unspoken expectations, the subtle norms, the cultural DNA that defines an organization. They are the invisible barriers that can impede progress and stifle innovation.

This workshop is designed to give you X-ray vision, allowing you to see through those barriers and understand the true dynamics of your organization and your industry. You'll gain a new perspective on how to drive meaningful change, not by fighting against the current, but by harnessing its power.

Here's what you'll get from this immersive experience:

• A deep dive into unwritten rules: We'll trace their origins back to early human societies, explore the brain science behind their influence, and examine how they manifest in today's organizations.

• Understanding how unwritten rules work: We'll break down the subtle cues, signals, and social dynamics that reinforce these unspoken expectations.

• Decoding the interplay between written and unwritten rules: Learn how to navigate the often-contradictory relationship between formal policies and the informal norms that truly govern behavior.

• Collaborative exploration: Engage in guided exercises with fellow changemakers to uncover the unwritten rules that govern your own organizations and industries. Together, you'll develop strategies to leverage these rules for successful transformation.

• Expert insights: I'll share key takeaways from my research and years of experience working with organizations like NASA and the United Nations.

• Identifying those most attuned to unwritten rules: We'll explore why certain individuals within your organization may be more adept at recognizing these hidden dynamics.

• The foundations of organizational culture: Drawing on the work of pioneers like Edgar Schein and Peter Drucker, we'll examine how unwritten rules form the bedrock of culture.

This workshop is not for the faint of heart. It requires a willingness to challenge assumptions, confront uncomfortable truths, and embrace new ways of thinking. But for those who dare to delve into the hidden architecture of their organizations, the rewards are immense.
