Helping organisations make the changes needed to seize competitive advantage — and to succeed — has always been Culture Shock’s raison d'être. Since 2008, we have been helping leaders and their organisations build lasting advantage. The independent spirit handed down from Charlene Samuel, the corporation's founder — always challenging the status quo — has given the company the courage to look beyond the obvious to find solutions for more than 15 years.

Charlene Samuel’s Ideas and Culture Shock Perspectives

​

When Culture Shock adopted “strategy” as its specialty, it ignited a revolution that would transform business management forever. From the beginning, Charlene's passion for ideas was the company’s mark of distinction. Her ideas and projects reveal a visionary who excels at challenging the status quo, a brilliant thinker, and a woman of action, driven by a strong sense of purpose.

Breakthrough ideas that Culture Shock has developed — and continues to develop — have become business canon and helped establish our reputation in the marketplace. The core values established by Culture Shock played a major role in shaping the organisation into what it is today — while continuing to guide our work on a daily basis.
