Setting the Stage to Define and Improve Your Culture w/ Troy Scheer and April Simmons

The KPI Cafe

Can you define your organization's culture?
Is the culture creating positive outcomes for your business?
Culture is often a difficult aspect to manage because there are so many elements that comprise it, both tangible and intangible. While it starts at the top of the organization to align culture with core values, ever single member of your organization contributes towards culture and participates within it.
To discuss this in greater detail, the KPI Cafe brings two new guests to share their perspectives built from years as leaders inside the automotive industry: April Simmons, Corporate Internet and Marketing Director at Horne Automotive, and Troy Scheer, an agile Chief Marketing Officer and dealership consultant.
From building culture to identifying red flags to ensuring more inclusivity, April and Troy offer up myriad perspectives and insights that can help you simply just assess if your culture's effectiveness or even help you ask the right questions to start building a true culture that serves your people.
In addition to insights from these two, we're continuing with our new segment "What's Going on in Auto?" with Reunion Marketing's CEO Dave Spannhake diving into the many big changes in automotive at large.
