The talent development function is uniquely positioned to act as the guardians of organizational culture, and TD professionals can lead the process for defining and promoting the culture that best serves the organization and its people. In this series members of CTDO Next—a group of talent development executives who are shaping the future of learning—discuss how to drive culture transformation across the organization. John Coné, CTDO Next Catalyst, is the series moderator. Every interpersonal interaction between employees, decision made by a leader, and new initiative launched by the organization (read: every moment) contributes to a company's culture story. In this episode, Lisa Cairns, Director of Learning and Development at Smith, talks about how to actively and intentionally facilitate that culture.
