Episode #160. Interview with Lisa Carlin on working within your culture

Culture is something we could endlessly explore, there are so many different perspectives and opinions.

In this episode, Shelley talks with Lisa Carlin about working within your culture, as opposed to changing it.

Lisa is a strategy execution specialist and the co-founder of Future Builders Group, a network of organisational development specialists.  She works with Leaders to turbo charge their transformation projects and change.

Strategy execution, Transformation, Change, Projects, implementation, cultural change, digital transformation – these words all mean something slightly different and they mean something different to each individual. They all motivate a feeling of ‘let’s do something significant to move forward’.

Lisa’s first step to developing her transformation journey began in South Africa the 1990's when she started working in systems development. This encouraged a curiosity in change management. Following this, she started working for McKinsey on strategy projects. The firm delivered amazing strategy work, but just like systems development, didn’t always go as planned because due to people.

After moving to Australia, Lisa started working for a culture change organisation where ideas from a transcendental, meditation movement where used to developed ‘culture in the workplace’.  Culture was not used or understood in the workplace in these years and it inspired Lisa to start her own business combining all the different skills learnt over the years.

Lisa's learnings in strategy, technology, culture and people work, led her to create a multidisciplinary transformation perspective.

There are three stages to multidisciplinary transformation and Lisa will guide you through these during the conversation.
