Managing A Culture Change Project
Mr. Peter Dicky Yip, Executive Vice President, Bank of Communications
Every organization has an invisible quality - a certain style, a character, a way of doing things. Changing an organization’s culture requires dramatically different ways of thinking and doing. It involves understanding values, beliefs, identities, attitudes, practices, communications, physical environments and the quality of people. It is not easy. However, an organization’s culture is fundamental to its ability to provide consistently high-quality products and services. This talk will focus on the steps, risks and techniques used in managing a culture change project.

Case Study - The Management Agenda for Change
Mr. James Small, Associate, Oliver Wight Asia/Pacific Pty Ltd.
All businesses are driving an agenda of business improvement. This presentation draws on the Oliver Wight experience of over 30 years assisting companies to achieve excellence by their definition. It is designed to challenge senior managers to understand and set their agenda for change.

The presentation will ask you to think of your business in three areas:
- how do you deliver value in the eyes of your customers and how will that focus translate into year on year competitive advantage
- what are the process areas that must be improved to create and deliver that value
- assess your business maturity and identify early priorities to drive your business performance in those areas that deliver customer value.

The presentation will demonstrate what is required to take your company from its current situation to one of sector leadership. The key message is not the list of what to do, but the importance of when and in what sequence.
