Description

In this week’s episode, Mary Coursey joins us to talk about changing cultures to be more learning-centric. Mary shares her experience in successfully changing the culture of her organization, and the effects her change had on the organization. Here are three takeaways from this week’s episode:

  • Make sure all employees know the connection their work has to your organization’s mission.
