Work culture change isn’t a software update.
HR leaders and executives often reach for technical solutions to fix what are fundamentally adaptive challenges in work culture.
New platforms.
New policies.
New training modules.
These are important — but they’re not enough.
Technical change solves problems with known solutions.
Adaptive change demands something harder: Rethinking values, unlearning habits, and leading through discomfort.
You can’t policy your way to clarity.
You can’t automate innovation.
You can’t train trust into existence.
As stewards of culture, we must go beyond surface fixes and lead the deeper work.
The future of work depends on our willingness to face not just what’s broken, but what’s been accepted.
