Kymm Bartlett Martinez and Yumi Clevenger-Lee
Think & Link: November 20th (Thursday), 3:00-5:00 pm Central (In-Person, and Streamed LinkedIn Live)
Culture weaves entire societies and populations together, but it is also at work within organizations, corporations and governments. We see the importance of culture in how we believe and behave, yet it also weighs on corporate mergers, partnerships and acquisitions across continents.
Our two brilliant guests will help us make sense of this ever-present, ever-shifting dynamic. We have Kymm Bartlett Martinez of Wilder Marketing Group and formerly head of marketing at the University of St Thomas. And, we have Yumi Clevenger-Lee of Quest Global to discuss their successes using acquisitions to build a culture-first engineering consulting business that boasts 13,000 people across 17 countries.
Areas of learning from this event:
One: What does a healthy culture look and feel like? What are some of the indications or markers that might be counter intuitive?
Two: How do you create a thriving culture for a global workforce?
Three: What sorts of things can an individual do to positively impact the culture of their organization?
