Cracking the Corporate Code - Unwritten Ground Rules
The concept of Unwritten Ground Rules or UGRs(TM)was originally developed by author and international speaker Steve Simpson, from Keystone Management Services in Australia. After two universities funded world-first research into UGRs(TM), many organisations across the world have been helped to implement significant cultural change programmes using a range of powerful tools and strategies related to UGRs(TM).

 This presentation is based on Steve's groundbreaking work, which helps us to understand, and manage, organizational culture. In the words of Professor Ron Cacioppe, Graduate School of Management, University of Western Australia: "Steve has discovered a simple yet profound approach to organizational culture that can be of tremendous value to managers and human resource professionals who genuinely want to shift their team to a more positive culture that is beneficial to their customers and staff with whom they work. Steve's concepts make a valuable contribution to our understanding and transformation of organizational culture."

Stef du Plessis has a close strategic alliance with Steve, and together they help companies use the UGRs(TM) concept for dramatic results.

 ·    Organisational culture is the invisible but undeniable force that shapes people's behaviour in any organisation - Nothing is more important, nothing can be more potent than an organisation's culture... it is the key determinant of the performance of any work team or business.
·    When the culture is 'right', an organisation has a significant competitive advantage that is impossible to replicate - While systems and products can be copied, culture cannot.

 What This Presentation Will Do For Your Leaders At All Levels

 The concept of Unwritten Ground Rules changes all that.

Once your leaders grasp the concept, they will understand organizational culture, and will be empowered to help change it in support of the achievement of your stated objectives.
