Consulting for organizational culture
Culture lives in everyday interactions, decisions and unspoken rules. It becomes visible in what is encouraged, what is avoided and how people act when the organization comes under pressure. Purpose and values can provide powerful direction, but only when people understand how they’re meant, connect with why they matter and translate them into their own choices and behavior. I partner with you to translate strategic intent into behaviors people genuinely live by.
This Could Be right for you and your organization if…
Your organization is growing and its organically developed culture no longer provides sufficient direction.
You are navigating transformation, restructuring, integration or a significant change in strategy.
You want to develop clear leadership or communication principles.
Your purpose / values / leadership principles have been defined, but are not yet tangible in everyday work.
There is a gap between the culture you aspire to and the behavior people actually experience.
Different functions, regions or leadership levels operate according to conflicting norms.
Unspoken rules are limiting openness, ownership, collaboration or effective decision-making.
You want people across the organization to understand, shape and take ownership of the desired culture.
Phases of culture consultation
Depending on where you are at, you might need consultation during one particular phase of culture transformation or a full end-to-end journey comprising all three phases. We will define what’s needed for your case individually. Every culture consultation is a tailor-made solution.
PHASE 1
Culture Discovery
Analysis of existing cultural patterns and fields of action.
Includes stakeholder interviews, culture diagnosis and recommendations for action in line with company strategy.
PHASE 2
Culture Design
Development of target culture (might include purpose, values, leadership principles or others).
Includes design workshops with relevant stakeholders, final package of defined culture elements, and recommendations for activation.
PHASE 3
Culture Activation
Accompaniment of launch and integration of target culture.
May include creation of internal communication concepts, design of workshop formats for continued internal use, activation of change agents, delivery of train-the-trainer workshops for internal multiplicators, and ongoing coaching for key stakeholders.
