Adapting OD to culture

Are your OD methods culturally adaptable? How does culture influence your change management, the processes, interaction, structure and the instruments you use? How can you be more effective in different contexts?

We had great conversations during the IODA World Café Session 5: Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions and OD. We explored how to refine your tools for diverse environments in this interactive session facilitated by myself, together with Isaac Selvaraj Peter.

After an earlier series of webinars on Hofstede, this time we delved into the 3rd and 4th cultural dimensions:
– Tough/Tender Dimension: How culture influences motivation & decision-making processes.
– Need for Certainty: Balancing structure, theory, and practice in OD.

Great session! Thank you IODA and thank you participants for the lively conversation.
