Who will benefit from our services?
All levels of management will benefit from our services. However, each management level has different concerns and we tailor our work with you accordingly.
For Boards of Directors
Over the last few years, many businesses have been caught behaving badly, resulting in damage to their reputations and loss of company value. In most cases, the scandals were attributed partially to dysfunctional organizational cultures. We help Boards of Directors learn how to carry out due diligence concerning the organization’s culture and leaders. The result is that they are better equipped to oversee strategy and mitigate risk.
For Senior Leaders
Senior leaders hold unique power for setting the purpose, vision and direction of the company. Even true visionaries sometimes struggle to translate their visions into actions. We help senior leaders bring their visions to life by embedding company purpose and values into the culture. The result is higher levels of innovation, greater attraction and retention of talent, and greater ease in implementing strategy.
For Middle Managers
Middle managers have much to gain from becoming effective leaders who can influence up, down and across the organization. We help mid-level leaders achieve their goals by developing the knowledge and skills to build strong cultures that engage people who embrace change. The result is higher productivity, greater employee engagement and stronger overall performance.
For Employees
Everyone has the power to make a positive impact on organizational culture. All can be leaders no matter where they are in the hierarchy. When work has meaning and values guide actions, everyone can also contribute to the betterment of the world. While no one has complete control of work and the workplace, all have the ability to influence. We help employees discover how to apply their strengths to positively influence their company cultures. In addition, we contribute to employees’ well-being by helping them become more change-adept and resilient.
How do we do it?
All our services are tailored to your organization’s particular needs.
We always begin with a current state assessment of your culture, your leadership, your capacity for change and your change-related needs. Then, knowing our starting point, we work with you to devise a plan for how you can move from where you are to where you want to be. This plan always includes metrics to measure progress and outcomes along the way.
Once the plan is finalized, we provide you with guidance and support through Training and Coaching. And oh, by the way, we also provide you with tools that you can use on your own or with our help as you implement your plans.
