Michael Henderson, Corporate Anthropologist,
Co-Founder, Cultures at Work
Michael is a corporate anthropologist, which means he has a degree in understanding and studying human cultures. Michael applies insights from anthropology (the study of human beings as the curators of culture) to organisations to support them in aligning company culture as a strategic asset.
He has over 40 years of experience and has overseen over 300 culture transformation projects, which has taught him what works and what doesn't when it comes to changing or improving culture.
Both as a keynote speaker and a gifted instructor and educator, Michael brings deep insights that explain what culture is, how it forms and functions, and how you can use this knowledge to optimise your culture.
His work has been hailed by the world's leading expert in organisational culture, the late Professor Edgar Schein of M.I.T Sloan School of Management, as providing the "Missing link" that organisations have overlooked for the past fifty years that is needed to truly understand what culture is and how to align culture as a strategic asset.
Michael is an emerging Thought Leader on the new business challenge known as B.A.N.I and has powerful and timely messages to business leaders on why underrating culture is the key to serving B.A.N.I
