Thanks to all who attended today’s virtual discussion! Chicago OD Practitioners Network (CODPN) hosted this complementary presentation on organizational culture, “Going Beyond Values – Measuring & Transforming Culture.”
This interactive program explored how constructive cultures drive engagement, financial success, and societal impact. Featuring a real-world transformation story from ERDMAN (a Madison-based healthcare design leader recognized as a Great Place to Work®), participants learned how to quantify values and culture using the Organizational Culture Inventory® (OCI®). The session was based on a hands-on experience mapping organizational culture and explored how AI can identify effective levers for cultural change.
Organization development experts sharing their insights were:
Cathleen Cooke, Chief Client Officer at Human Synergistics, brings 20 years of experience helping organizations quantify and transform their cultures using the OCI. She works with companies of all sizes to drive engagement, safety, growth, and DEI initiatives.
Andie Hopkins, an accomplished consultant and coach with 30 years of experience, specializes in culture transformation and people strategy for small to medium-sized businesses. She shared insights from ERDMAN, widely recognized for its exceptional workplace culture.
