Good day seniors. I work for an organisation with more than 2500 employees as an HR Executive. What approach should I use in implementing a culture change program?

A Culture change program is generally planned by the top level management of the company.
At your level you can prepare a report in terms of what are the areas you think need change and suggest methods to execute them. Present this report to your management and see what they have to say about it.
There are various ways to bring change in culture in an organization. Boot Camps, Employee Awareness Weeks, Workshops, Training and Employee Engagement Programs are some of the common means to bring the change. You can start some of the activities around them to see how the employees are responding to them. The entire change process needs lot of planning and a dedicated team to execute it.
Let me know more about your situation and probably you can draft something of your own too. All the Best!

Dear Wellington,
This is in addition to what Atul has said. You wanted to change the your organisation's culture. In this connection I have following questions?
a) Your designation is quite low to handle activities of this kind. Therefore, is there sanction of your Head HR for whatever you plan to do? What are his/her views on the change of organisation's culture?
b) Suppose this initiative has come from Head HR then does he/she have sanction of your management for whatever you people wish to do?
c) As of now what type of culture your organisation has? Is it bureaucratic, innovative, customer-centric, image conscious or something else? How did you measure this culture?
d) Where you wish to go from where you are? Have you decided that?
e) What is the standing of your company in your country? What is your product or service? How do you measure customer satisfaction index?
f) In the last five years what new products or services you have introduced?
Please give the replies for the above questions and then we will give our opinions.
Thanks,
