SUMMARY:SFIMA: What is Organizational Culture and Might it be the Future of Marketing with Jason Korman
DESCRIPTION:KEY TAKEAWAYS\n tWhat organizational culture is all about\n tHow to develop effective internal marketing programs to drive cultural change\n tWhat are the key ingredients for a successful employee advocacy programs\n tHow to measure success of a cultural marketing program\nCorporate culture has become a pop culture buzzword\, but many executives don’t clearly understand the business purpose.

The stakes are high\, with 70% of American employees are “disengaged” costing companies $450-to-$550 billion in lost productivity per year (Gallup). In his talk\, Jason will address the genesis of the organizational culture movement\, why it has become essential to growing a robust business and why it might possibly be the future of marketing.\nJason Korman CEO at Gapingvoid\, Culture Design Group\nJason is CEO of gapingvoid ltd and it’s Culture Design Group\, a thought leader in the area of adapting change at scale to large organizations. He is a proven innovator\, combining industry models in unexpected ways to create novel\, effective approaches to business creation and growth. He has broad experience in the alcoholic beverage industry\, leveraging supply chain strategies\, social media and channel marketing.\nJason is particularly interested in new models for driving change in large organizations\, and how creative approaches to environment shifts workplace\, behavior\, culture and experience. He believes that the future of effective leadership will rely heavily on new creative tools.\nPROGRAM\n tNetworking: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.\n tPresentation: 7:30 – 8:30 p.m.
