14.15 The challenge of transforming team culture by Kim Tureluren and a customer journey (tbc)

Kim is a trainer for The Bayard Partnership on topics such as change management, organisational culture, and leadership; She is also a change manager guiding organizations through transition. The session will provide an introduction to observing company culture, dive deeper into techniques for detecting obstructive behavior and converting it into innovation. By leveraging material culture and the viral change methodology, we let this culture spread across the organisation, resulting in a dynamic, change-ready workplace environment where people seek cross-departmental connections, embrace diversity, and learn from ‘desire lines’.The expertise draws from anthropological techniques and corporate culture studies. It will provide actionable insights, enabling you to influence team culture without formal authority. As a corporate anthropologist, Kim offers valuable insights into organisational culture with her unique view, coupled with limitless curiosity, and exceptional listening skills. She helps leadership teams build cultures ready to embrace change.

In this session, the experience and good practices will be shared around major business application projects such as ERP & CRM and mostly the building blocks of a business driven and solid project governance, based on a real industry case.
Business applications are first and for all business projects, in co-creation with business people; business accountability is key by creating business buy in and accountability as from day 1 by defining the process ownership model, incl roles & responsibilities. Another hot topic in such a journey today is to align business people with ICT & implementation partners. Change management shows up from day 1, using ADKAR and other change instruments. Governance topics will be handled such as: which bodies do you need to manage the project in all its aspects such as scope, budget, planning, acceptance; which project phases do you need to define and how to close the project, ensuring a good hand over to both business & ICT.
