Guest: David Liddle CEO of The TCM Group and President of The People and Culture Institute (PCI) David is CEO of The TCM Group and president of The People and Culture Institute (PCI). David’s vision for The TCM Group continues to be focused on helping organisations to develop purpose driven, values based and person centred cultures. David is author of ‘MANAGING CONFLICT’,  ‘TRANSFORMATIONAL CULTURE’ and his new release, ‘PEOPLE AND CULTURE’, in which David presents a compelling case for redesigning workplaces as human-centred ecosystems where wellbeing, justice, and performance reinforce one another. Making culture not a “soft” concern, but the primary driver of organisational success. Originating from Nottingham in the East Midlands in the U.K., David has extensive experience of cultural transformation, conflict resolution and leadership development. In our discussion, We go deeper into the transformational landscape we are all operating in and dive into David’s new book People and Culture in which he argues that traditional HR models – rooted in control, compliance, and industrial-era thinking – are no longer fit for today’s complex, values-driven workplaces. Indeed in many forward-thinking companies globally, as David tells me, a fundamental shift is already underway.
