Synopsis: Organisational change is an issue of high importance for organisations. However, many change initiatives still fail. These failures are often attributed to a lack of consideration for the existing organisational culture. In addition, organisations often seem to regard the work on organisational culture as something to be undertaken during times of well-being and as incentives to keep the engagement on a high level. Literature often states that cultural changes in organisations need at leastseven years and longer. The work on culture change, therefore, is often disregarded. However, this cannot be the solution and, so, organisations invest important leverages for successful change. The role and influence of middle management on organisational culture change still seem to need researching. Fast Cultural Change explores ways to undertake organisational cultural change within a shorter time span without losing sight of complexity and sustainability
