Do you struggle to move the dial on your organisation’s culture? Perhaps, the answer to your problem lies in the use of a tool that breaks from traditional methods to measure culture: AI.
In this episode I am joined by Charlie Sull, a pioneer in the use of AI, to understand, measure and evolve culture in organisations. Charlie shares culture measurement methods you can use with AI, that use employee language to provide concrete, measurable insights. Charlie emphasises the importance of top-down prioritisation to facilitate cultural change, and gives interesting data-led insights into the impact of remote work on culture.
This episode is for leaders at all stages of their career that are looking to transform culture, supercharge performance in your team, and use pioneering techniques to do so.
