“Culture Renovation” with Kevin Oakes, CEO and Co-Founder of the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp), and Author of “Culture Renovation: 18 Leadership Actions to Build an Unshakeable Company”

When it comes to culture change, why is it important to be thinking renovation and not transformation?

What role do influencers, energizers, and detractors play in culture change?

My guest on this episode is Kevin Oakes, CEO and Co-Founder of the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) and author of “Culture Renovation: 18 Leadership Actions to Build an Unshakeable Company”

During our conversation, Kevin and I discuss:

  • Why defining “culture” is less important than taking action to change it

  • Why he thinks every organization should have a “kill the company committee” and how it can drive innovation and culture change

  • Why the first step in culture renovation is to deploy an effective listening strategy

  • How to identify the influencers, energizers, and blockers that are critical to culture renovation

  • How onboarding program designed to build relationships can supercharge your culture

  • Why he believes more Chief People Officers will come from outside the function in the future
