John Curran—How Can Anthropology Help Your Business Soar?

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Hear how anthropology helps you see your business through a fresh lens</strong></span></p> <p>It was truly a privilege and a pleasure to interview Dr. John Curran on our podcast. We met by way of LinkedIn, and I knew I had to share his story. Dr. Curran is one of the pioneers of organizational anthropology. Now remember, I branded myself when I launched my business as a <a href= "https://www.simonassociates.net/anthropologists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">corporate anthropologist</a> who helps companies change. At the time, I didn’t realize there weren’t any corporate anthropologists. I also quickly learned that people engaged me because they really needed to change, but they didn’t know what I did, or why anthropology could be of value to their organization’s strategy or business model or culture. Along the way, they learned, and then they began to see their business through fresh eyes. You will too. There is so much to learn from this brilliant anthropologist and thought leader. Enjoy, and please share.</p> <p><strong>Watch and listen to our conversation here</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQs-nJjbfEw" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><img class= "aligncenter size-full wp-image-33703" src= "https://www.simonassociates.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/J-Curran-video.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1276px) 100vw, 1276px" srcset= "https://www.simonassociates.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/J-Curran-video.jpg 1276w, https://www.simonassociates.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/J-Curran-video-300x126.jpg 300w, https://www.simonassociates.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/J-Curran-video-1024x431.jpg 1024w, https://www.simonassociates.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/J-Curran-video-768x323.jpg 768w" alt="" width="1276" height="537" loading="lazy" /></a></p> <p><strong>What is organizational anthropology?</strong></p> <p>And how does it apply to organizations?
