Stage 1: Understanding the Problem

Overview

Our Culture Assessment is an award-winning diagnostic tool, recognised by CIPD and the Business Culture Awards.
Grounded in organisational psychology and leading cultural models, it gives a robust, evidence-based view of your current culture through employee surveys, leadership insight, and data analysis.

It highlights where culture is enabling or blocking performance, surfaces subcultures, and pinpoints where leadership focus is most needed.

  1. Baseline assessment across four quadrants and 20 attributes
  2. Insight into behaviours and the beliefs driving them
  3. Variances identified across regions and departments
  4. Quick-win actions to kick-start change and realise early benefits
  5. Clear cultural imperatives to shape design and embedding
  6. Comprehensive report and executive summary for leadership

The output of the insights phase is a culture assessment report which is packed with deep insight and future recommendations, in an easy to digest way. The report:

  • Highlights the overarching culture and any positive & negative microcultures
  • segments data to clearly show variances across geography, sub-brands or departments
  • provides baseline measurement from which to measure culture shift
  • identifies untapped potential and culture opportunities
  • identifies leadership capability gaps and offers a plan to upskill them
  • Highlights quick wins & rapid improvements for maximum impact

Stage 2: Designing the Solution

Overview

In Stage 2, we turn insight into action by designing a culture blueprint that aligns directly with business strategy.

Working with your employees and the leadership team, we co-design the mission, vision and values that drive performance, define the skills and mindsets required, and shape the employee experience through EVP, behaviours, and communications.

The outcome is a cultural framework – a roadmap for growth that equips you to engage employees and embed change with confidence.

  1. Translate insight into a clear “as is” vs. “to be” culture view
  2. Co-create culture principles, values and behaviours
  3. Develop strategic narrative, EVP and Employee experience (EX) frameworks
  4. Shape leadership capabilities and facilitate workshops to align on ambition and priorities
  5. Produce a blueprint ready for rollout and communication
  6. Develop key metrics and culture dashboard to measure success and business impact/ROI
  1. Defined mission, vision, and values at group and/or regional level
  2. Clear leadership skills, behaviours, and mindsets to role-model the culture
  3. Employee behaviours and competencies aligned with performance goals
  4. A compelling strategic narrative to guide culture change
  5. An EVP to enhance engagement and the employee experience
  6. KPIs and comms plan to engage, measure, and sustain progress

Stage 3: Embedding Behaviour Change

Overview

The final stage ensures culture becomes business as usual. Too often, momentum fades after rollout, with employees slipping back into old habits.

CulturEmbed™ makes change stick. Using our Team-Based Embedding approach, we help teams translate values into daily behaviours, decisions, and collaboration – building ownership and accountability from the ground up.

The result is a self-sustaining culture, lived consistently across the organisation and reinforced through action plans, measurement, and continuous improvement.

  1. Build a phased roadmap to embed culture across teams and functions
  2. Run embedding forums to translate culture into daily practice
  3. Align cultural embedding with HR, L&D, and wider business initiatives
  4. Deliver workshops and coaching to upskill leaders and managers
  5. Establish feedback loops (pulse surveys, focus groups) to test adoption
  6. Monitor progress and refine through continuous learning cycles
  1. Stronger team ownership and engagement, driving long-term cultural change
  2. Increased trust, belonging and collaboration, improving cross-functional teamwork
  3. Faster cultural alignment, leading to immediate performance gains
  4. Sustained high performance and motivation, as employees increasingly see their role in shaping the culture
  5. A self-sustaining change leadership model, reducing reliance on senior management for cultural transformation

Business outcomes of end to end culture change

From Pepsico to England Golf, we’ve partnered with hundreds of organisations across dozens of industries, and the pattern is clear: when culture is designed with intent rather than left to chance, the ROI is undeniable.

Culture Consultancy challenged our norms and assumptions whilst being pragmatic 
and progressive. Their human approach resulted in mindset shifts and behaviour from the front line to our Exec team. As a partner, they were a pleasure to work with.

Frequently asked questions

Why should organisational culture transformation be a Leader’s priority?

Because culture is the critical enabler of strategy. Without an intentional end-to-end culture change journey, transformation initiatives stall, productivity dips, and talent disengages. Embedding culture change ensures your organisation delivers on strategic priorities, future-proofs against disruption, and safeguards performance. Also, unlike piecemeal initiatives, a comprehensive culture change journey delivers business-wide impact, ensuring leaders can track improvements in employee engagement and productivity, innovation outcomes and risk reduction.

Misaligned culture is one of the top reasons strategy execution fails. Left unchecked, it creates regulatory risk, reputational damage, stalled innovation, and attrition of key talent. At the same time, during major transformations – whether cultural integration in M&A, digital transformation or rapid scaling – culture often makes or breaks success. An end-to-end culture change approach mitigates risks and ensures leadership alignment, clarity of purpose, and team-level adoption, ensuring a high-performance culture that sustains growth through disruption

Many organisations attempt isolated culture programmes that fade over time. Our end-to-end methodology ensures sustainability: an audit baseline, co-designed culture blueprint, and embedding culture change through CulturEmbed™ and the 6Es Human Change Principles. This turns organisational culture transformation into a strategic asset, not a short-term campaign

CEOs can expect returns across three dimensions:
Performance – stronger innovation, execution, and customer outcomes.
Risk – reduced regulatory, compliance, and reputational exposure.
People – higher employee engagement and productivity, plus improved attraction and retention.
The outcome: a high-performance culture that becomes a lasting competitive advantage
