Culture by Design (not default)
There are a wide range of approaches that can be used to study organizational culture depending on the desired outcome. We offer a diverse toolkit designed to meet the needs of any situation ranging from factual, data-driven surveys to positive, future-focused imagery and story-telling. In most cases, we find a combination of approaches works best when deep understanding and culture change is needed.
· Identify changes required to strengthen the alignment of culture and strategy
· Understand the dynamics of your current culture and how it is affecting performance
· Define the culture required to achieve long-term goals
· Measure culture change over time (baseline)
· Preserve unique aspects of your current culture
· Engage employees at various levels i.e. Executives and shop floor
· Identify tensions and synergies in mergers and acquisitions
The Culture Snapshot™ Survey
The Culture Snapshot™ is an on-line survey that is available 24/7 and easy to translate into multiple languages. All of our reports present culture strengths in an easy to remember scorecard format (green, gold, red). While we leverage technology to gather and analyze data, each report is interpreted and written by a culture expert with extensive organizational experience so that the implications for success are clear.
· Identify your organization’s culture levers
· Gain a performance edge
· Align culture with strategy and goals
· Gain deep insights
· Eliminate guess work and blind spots
Culture Photography
Pictures say 1000 words. They represent a moment in time but can reveal deep truths. Imagine asking participants to come to a workshop with photographs that represent 'the way things get done around here'. No people required - just images from the workplace.
Culture photography sparks discussions that reveal the organization’s culture at its best and its most confounding. Conversation probes deeply into the values of the organization that are espoused and in use. Behaviors, rules, principles and beliefs are made explicit and tested for validity. In a short period of time, participant perception of the culture has been exposed and norms and beliefs that are supporting and impeding progress are tested. This is culture photography in action. Culture change acceleration has started.
