Abstract
Transforming any organization’s culture is daunting regardless of sector, but a government agency faces even greater challenges. This article documents the multiyear journey of the Indiana Department of Revenue, which went from operating as a typical government bureaucracy to becoming a premier tax administrator and being recognized as one of the top 100 workplaces in the US. The Indiana Department of Revenue’s cultural transformation and successful implementation of a multiyear system and business modernization project provide informative lessons on undergoing a cultural transformation, including successfully leading a complex change initiative. I also explored how Pfeffer’s people-centered practices of successful businesses can be applied to a government agency.
