no two organisational cultures are exactly the same and no two culture change programmes are identical

We spend time understanding your situation, using our underlying methodology combined with our expertise, speed and agility to design and deliver a culture change programme which will achieve the impact and results you need.

Over the years we’ve had the opportunity and experiences to refine and finesse the methodology for effective culture change and alignment, achieving improvements in productivity, performance, wellbeing, inclusion and much more, whether that be at team level, departmental or divisional level, a specific location or a company-wide initiative.

This experience, mixed with our love of finding new and exciting technologies to embed behaviour change and mindset shift, as well as  communicate new ways of working, means that we have a very robust yet easy to understand pathway with which we deliver award winning culture programmes. 

our 3 stage methodology consists of:

insight
We gain a full understanding of your current culture- what makes you tick. We highlight what’s working well and you should therefore keep and build on, as well as uncovering the attributes that are holding back performance or will prevent your strategy being realised. We also identify untapped existing performance potential.

design
We design the culture that will effectively mobilise your people to execute on your strategy or business transformation. For some companies it’s about growth, innovation, digital and customer experience, for others it’s about employee experience, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion. Whatever the desired focus, we help you design the right Purpose, Vision, Values, Behaviours, and Working Practices to get the results you want.

embed
In order to make the new design ‘stick’, you need to fully embed it. We do this using our 4Es Human Change Principles™ of Educate, Engage, Empower and Enable,  which uses a combination of effective internal communications, behavioural change techniques, organisational design and talent management  tactics to develop and implement a roadmap which will fully embed the culture in an agile but robust way.
