culture changeservices: envision & evaluate

Clarify the culture you aspire to create. Assess your culture-strategy fit foundation. Gain deep insights for priority setting

There are times when an objective pair of eyes can see culture-strategy fit opportunities more clearly than those who are embedded in current practices, norms and beliefs. Outsiders can foster exploration of underlying values and beliefs, appreciation of the culture past and present and challenge the organization, like no internal resource can, to consider new capabilities that require attention. We can help people embrace the need to adapt and link to their personal hopes about creating a healthy, vibrant and sustainable organizational culture.

During the Evision & Evaluate Phases we can help you clarify the culture you aspire to create, reveal the current culture fit to strategy and core values, and help you gain deep insights for priority setting. We uncover difficult to identify culture dynamics, levers and priorities so that resources can be focused on areas of most opportunity. Our services can include helping you:

• Prepare the executive team for their role in culture change

• Articulate and/or interpret founding values

• Engage leaders and organization members in describing an aspired to culture

• Identify the culture patterns required to deliver strategy, brand promise and the aspired to culture

• Assess the strength of these culture patterns and identify opportunity areas

• Identify culture fit priorities for system-wide action and at the regional, departmental and/or functional level

• Use high engagement processes that build readiness and insight

• Illustrate the organization's story (history, seminal events, strategic direction, core values and aspired to culture)
