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

In this episode of Tomorrow Today, Shekhar Natarajan sits down with Javier Bajer for a deep conversation about culture, human behaviour, purpose, leadership and the future of work.

In this episode, they explore:

• Why traditional change management often fails to create lasting transformation.
• Why telling people to change rarely changes their behaviour.
• The difference between an organisation’s stated values and the behaviours that actually shape its culture.
• How culture is created through everyday conversations, environments and interactions.
• Why understanding an organisation may require going beyond surveys and interviews and observing how people actually behave.
• How incentives can unintentionally encourage the wrong behaviours.
• Why organisations shouldn't assume they have one single culture, but instead recognise the different cultures that exist across teams and environments.
• The role of purpose in creating alignment across an organisation.
• Javier’s concept of Profit on Purpose and why profit should be an outcome rather than the sole reason an organisation exists.
• Why leadership needs to focus on creating meaningful direction rather than simply communicating values.
• What Javier learned from working with complex systems, institutions and organisations around the world.
• How human behaviour and psychology can help organisations navigate transformation more effectively.
• Why technology is not always the biggest challenge sometimes the real challenge is understanding the people using it.
• How AI and technological disruption could change jobs and force people to rethink where they create value.
• Why the future of work may require a different understanding of motivation, contribution and purpose.
• The importance of mentors, formative experiences and the people who influence the direction of our lives.
• Why humans are capable of learning, unlearning and changing behaviours when the environment around them changes.
