Description:
Cultures of organsations are founded on a delicate interrelationship of internal and external factors: however, the one ingredient which is common in the development of culture is its people: how they are recruited, how they interact with each other and how they are managed. Increasing our understanding of these factors and how they relate to business outcomes is key to increasing performance. This is why business psychology has such an important role to play in analysing, defining and ultimately shaping business culture, or in stronger words, change management. Successful business change relies on psychology to provide the benchmarks for the multistage process to enable it to mould and adapt successfully to its environment.
John Hugo is a board member of the Association of Business Psychology, a member of the IOD policy and Harvard Business review committees as well as Vice Chair of ReachOut Plus.
John held operational roles for 10 years, and has now worked on and around the delivery of change for an additional 15 years, as the Head of Non Food Transformation for Tesco and European Director of Change for Barclaycard. John then launched and is Managing Director of Change Delivery Associates (CDA). CDA’s customer (partner) base includes public and private sector organisations from SME to FTSE 100: they have a proud 100% success on delivery.
This presentation is from a practitioner involved in change management. It will be backed up by case studies and will be of considerable interest to those involved professionally and those with a strong interest in the subject. John is a strong believer in the use of psychology and will explain in this presentation, alongside a presentation of his work, how psychologists can achieve greater recognition as agents of change management.
We should like to thank the University of Westminster for once again hosting this event.
