How the cohort works
Engage in 1-2 hours of weekly live sessions, scheduled around lunchtime slots to fit around your work. Each week will focus on a different area on our Culture OS Mind Map, which you will have fully completed for your own org by the end of the cohort, alongside a personal journal full of inspirational examples you've curated along the way to help you continue your culture journey post-cohort.
