Organizations globally are trying new ways to build creative workplace cultures that can handle changes in their business environments. However, many well-intentioned programs aimed at cultural change fail to affect employees in a meaningful way. As a result, even after spending lots of time and effort, these organizations are not ready for change. Unlike most types of culture initiatives, focusing on building specific skills can more successfully introduce new cultural elements into both growing startups and established global organizations.
