Workplace Effectiveness Strategic Change Culture Development & Integration Strategic Planning

“No company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.” - Jack Welch

An organization has its own unique cultural DNA or culture. It determines what employees value, how they behave, their priorities and what they do when no one is watching. Since as many as 50% of people leave a job in the first two years, cultural fit is important.

Cultures are shaped “One Leader at a Time.” To understand a culture, we look at an organization’s leadership, values and structure.

Leaders are “culture shapers” who:

Keep the vision, values and purpose top of mind
Serve as role models and storytellers for what is expected
Influence day-to-day employee actions and behaviors

We help executives and their teams:

Look at their cultures from a fresh point of view
Envision the culture they want to create and engage employees in the process
Design a roadmap to shape and align cultures to the business strategy
Facilitate the learning, feedback and reinforcement necessary for lasting change
