Don’t Mention the Word Culture When You Talk About Culture; Tim Kuppler

About This Week’s Guest

Tim Kuppler

Tim is the Director of Culture & Organization Development with Human Synergistics. He also founded CultureUniversity.com which features insights from top culture experts. He led major performance and culture transformations regionally and globally as an automotive supplier executive so he has loads of practical experience.  He now collaborates with many cultural experts and focuses on driving meaningful change in the world through cultural awareness, education, and action.

His three tips to become more culturally competent are:

1. Understand Culture Fundamentals from the top experts in the world.
2. Commit to a personal and organizational learning journey. If you’re changing your organizational culture it is not a one-time effort.
3. You have to connect your first initiatives to either a top problem, challenge, or goal.
