In the new podcast series, Kultur wandle Dich, host Marcus Schaper discusses cultural change from all angles with industry professionals with expertise in change management experts. Silke is the very first guest and the episode is available to stream in German. Schaper was previously in the thick of the transformation himself as a CIO in the energy industry. In an entertaining 46 minutes, Silke and Marcus exchange views on what makes for successful culture integration and why it can be a difficult to implement effectively.
