We have a fun topic and idea! We discuss organizational culture and how Social Intrapreneurs influence positive organizational change. More specifically we discuss innovation and the concept of “social movements” within organizations as a mechanism to lead positive change.
In this episode, we explore “Changing your company from the inside out: A guide for social intrapreneurs” with Christopher White. (This is the title of our guest’s book, along with his co-author Gerald F. Davis). Please join us for this episode as we discuss implementing tactics for positive organizational change. We will explore organizational culture, “good” leadership, social intrapreneurs, social networks, driving effective organizational change and more!

04:36 How would you define organizational culture?
05:01 On your website, “We believe an organization’s leaders often have the raw ability to create cultural change, but they may need support and coaching to make it work in practice.” How would you define good leadership?
06:44 What impact does good leadership have on organizational change? How do we know?
10:29 What is a social intrapreneur?
12:17 Let’s dive deeper, what is a social innovation and where does it come from? And how is the social innovation idea important to organizational change?
16:59 Your book shares that “Successful social movements tend to follow a playbook that can be seen as answers to four questions”; When is the right time for a change? (And how do you know?) Why, and how do you make the case for change? Who should be involved and what are the social networks? And How should they organize to press for change? So, can you tell our listeners more about the answers to these four questions?
36:25 Since organizations are built by people, and people have emotions, do emotions have a place in effective organizational change? And how do you address it?
38:04 From the website “Strategic Implementation”, “We believe the process of cultural change needs to be authentic and human”, How do you do this tactically
42:21 Lastly Chris, If you were going to give advice, or one golden nugget to an organization preparing for an ERP organizational change, what take-a-way would you like to leave with our listeners that could benefit them and their organization?
