Culture Change
“MakTel used to be a technically oriented, socialist type old school company which we intended to reform into a customer-focused, market-driven corporation. This was realized in the form of a comprehensive change management program which did not stop at reforming our operations and structure but indispensably included a culture change. Concordia played an invaluable role in this process.Our cooperation lasted two years and created the solid foundations of our future growth which we could reliably build upon. The programs were very favorably received throughout the company and everyone has been praising them ever since.”

These days the majority of resources – machines, materials or people – are available and affordable. However, organizations can become unique and outstanding through an atmosphere, a corporate culture which enables people to utilize their full potentials.
Advantages of a culture change:
- a more flexible organization with more solid foundations,
- more efficient, simpler operation,
- the ability to accept and manage continuous change,
- recruiting and retaining talented workforce,
- allowing creative forces and initiatives to surface,
- positive, energized atmosphere and attitude.
However, it takes significant energies, expertise and patience to carry out a full culture change. Our experience has shown that the following factors are indispensable for a successful culture change:
- Dedication from the top executives towards the importance of culture change.
- The critical mass has to be involved in, motivated for, as well as dedicated to culture change.
- Allowing the necessary time and resources, being consistent and perseverant.
- Professional support, involvement of experienced experts.
