Author Kimberly Wiefling wrote Inspired Organizational Cultures to demystify the elusive concept of organizational culture. Kimberly continues to do the work that she does best: enabling individuals, teams, and organizations to achieve what seems impossible but is merely difficult. Her deep experience working with globalizing Japanese companies worldwide makes this book highly relevant to anyone who is determined to build effective teams across borders and boundaries of every kind.
A physicist by education, Kimberly realized long ago the limits of technology devoid of human skills--the so-called "touchy feely" aspects of working in teams, so vital to success and so frequently overlooked. Her unique perspective, background as a technologist, and decades of real-world business leadership and project management experience keep the often intangible issue of culture relevant amidst the demands of products, services, technology, and business results.
A co-founder of Silicon Valley Alliances, Kimberly has worked globally with people from every corporate function and from over fifty different countries, and her guidance on building and strengthening an organization's culture includes that global awareness. Her commitment to seeing beyond country culture to the common ground that we all share as human beings is evident in the wisdom she shares in this book. She's passionate about making a meaningful difference by working with organizations, individuals, and teams committed to solving the problems of Our World--profitably and thus sustainably--and this latest book serves that greater purpose.
