A Culture of Innovation Starts with People
The big topics of this Simply Human Newsletter - sustainable innovation, agility and inspiring culture of change
👋 Hi (or hej the IKEA Swedish way),
Over the summer, we ‘pulled the plug’ to spend more time with our families and find some inspiration outside the ordinary flow of work. It sounds almost ‘mystic’ that the practice of disconnecting from work can help rewire your brain to become more creative and productive, yet it works!
One of the things that Zuleka and I (re)discovered this summer was how AI can be used to gather insights into an organisation’s culture - the good, the bad and the ugly! The WOW moment happens when you understand that you can see this not just through what people say, but how they say it!
We fell in love with this AI tool called CULTURAMA - not only can you explore data on more than 1,700 companies (for free!), you can also get to know some really ‘juicy’ details.
If you want the lowdown on companies like Google, Tesla and TikTok - check out this access and let us know what you think.
Stay curious! 👇
This month, here we’re sharing a couple of resources - tell us what you like, and want to see more of!

🎬 🧠 Watch Change Management Tools don’t always work
Most individuals with over 5 years of work experience have encountered at least one significant or minor transition at work. When such changes are at risk of failure, companies often turn to change management professionals to engage employees in the forthcoming transformation. The real question is, do we have any proof that these change management models work? Here is a great discussion with Tim Creasey (The Chief Innovation Officer of PROSCI)
