Culture Initiatives
We help you design culture initiatives to achieve your strategic vision.
Changing culture is complex. Although there are significant efforts by many organisations (and a lot of advice by global consultancies) most people agree culture transformations struggle to deliver desired results.
Culture change involves long-term deep work – building organisational collaboration, scaling initiatives across departments, and shifting very ingrained leadership and employee behaviors.
Underpinning this work are several smaller organisational initiatives – leadership programs, changing performance systems, team development. How do you align these properly? Often, we observe that these critical building block initiatives are too generic and not strongly aligned with culture and strategic objectives, missing the opportunity to be truly transformative.
We help design culture change initiatives to make sure they are aligned and impactful. We do this by combining our culture expertise (understanding what really shifts culture, 25 years of leadership program design), with our measurement expertise (creating clarity, defining tangible outcomes and aligning design to these).
Outcomes we help you achieve
targeted initiatives and programs that effectively build the desired culture
an understanding of the enablers and inhibitors of your culture change
greater clarity about the desired culture
indicators and metrics to measure the progress of your culture initiatives
design principles for building adaptive capacity
culture transformation teams with greater capacity to manage complex transformations
Advice and partnering
We advise and partner with you to design culture initiatives, like leadership development programs.
We can also help you more deeply understand your current culture, your aspired culture, and the pathways between. We bring expertise in adult learning, powerful culture models (Adaptive Cultures) and systems thinking.
Our approach is to work closely with internal stakeholders, to co-design culture initiatives that connect strongly to business needs.
Because we also wear our measurement hats, we help you with metrics to keep your initiatives on track.
