Reframing Culture and Organizational Change with David White, PhD

The Happy at Work Podcast

This week's episode features a science-packed conversation with David White, an expert in organizational culture and business transformation.
David's career journey through various HR functions, including recruitment, change management, and talent management, has provided him with invaluable insights into the challenges of driving lasting cultural shifts within organizations.
As the author of Disrupting Corporate Culture, David challenges conventional wisdom by reframing culture as a form of shared knowledge embedded in our brains. Unlike the traditional corporate view, which often sees culture as an external force, David emphasizes its heterogeneous and tacit nature—stuff we know but don't consciously acknowledge—that shapes our everyday actions and behaviors.
Armed with applied science, David has spent the last decade helping organizations approach culture and change with sophistication and nuance, striving to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Tune in to this enlightening episode as David unpacks the complexities of culture, neuroscience, and organizational change, offering practical insights to empower leaders and teams on their journey toward meaningful transformation.
