The Future of Work, Culture & Purpose with Javier Bajer | Shekhar Natarajan

What really changes when an organisation tries to change its culture? In this episode of Tomorrow Today, Shekhar Natarajan sits down with Javier Bajer cultural architect, cognitive psychologist and expert in organisational transformation for a wide-ranging conversation about how humans, organisations and societies actually change. Javier challenges many of the assumptions behind traditional change management. Instead of relying on surveys, mission statements, values on walls or instructions to change the culture, he explores what happens when we look at the conversations, behaviours and environments that shape people every day. The conversation moves from organisational culture and leadership to purpose, incentives, technology and the future of work. Javier shares lessons from working across businesses, governments and institutions, including his experiences studying organisational cultures from the inside and helping large systems navigate transformation. Together, Shekhar and Javier explore a deeper question: What if culture isn't what an organisation says it believes but what people actually do when nobody is watching? They also unpack the idea of Profit on Purpose: why purpose shouldn't be reduced to a slogan, how incentives can amplify the wrong behaviours, and why businesses may need to rethink what success really means. An insightful conversation about human behaviour, organisational change, leadership, purpose and the systems we create around ourselves. #TomorrowToday #JavierBajer #ShekharNatarajan #OrganisationalCulture #ChangeManagement #Leadership #HumanBehaviour #Purpose #ProfitOnPurpose #FutureOfWork #BusinessLeadership #WorkplaceCulture #OrganisationalTransformation #SystemsThinking #AI #LeadershipMindset
