FAQs

Q: Can you measure culture using a CC Culture Assessment?

A: Yes, absolutely!

Recognising that each company culture is unique, we develop a combination of people, culture and business measures of success. This truly bespoke approach ensures you are measuring and tracking what matters to you most – rather than relying on something generic with a bespoke dashboard.

 

Q: We know the culture we’re aiming for but we’re not sure how to get there, can you help?

A: Yes! We can do a gap analysis. If you have already defined your new culture, we can audit your current culture and outline the road map that will get you from as is today to future desired state.

 

Q: Time is of the essence, how long does it take?

A: Hard to say! It depends on what you’re trying to achieve and how big, or not, the shifts are that you’re trying to make. In exploring your desired outcomes we’ll be able to give you an accurate sense of the likely duration of the work. We’re used to working to tight timescales and our many years of experience mean we know where we can safely expedite the process without sacrificing quality of outcomes.

 

Q: Budgets are tight, and we’re worried about cost control – what are the fees?

A: We’re very comfortable working to tightly managed budgets and wherever possible, to fixed fees so you’re clear on costs upfront. We offer a range of options depending on your size, complexity and internal capability.
