how we work
Culture diagnosis
We support organisations to measure where they are now and define clearly the culture they want to create.
Systemic change
We take a systems view of organisations and change and work with teams to help them do the same.
Strengths-based
Drawing on the strengths of individuals and organisations, we help them to work out what's possible and build it.
Co-creation
Effective change involves people. We facilitate the co-creation of solutions and enable learning.
Connecting
Humans evolved to be social. We connect individuals and build inclusive teams where everyone has a voice.
Workshops
Our standalone workshops are designed to add value and can act as a catalyst for further change.
Culture diagnosis
Getting a clear sense of the where the business or team is now is an important first step. We base our diagnosis on Schein’s model of organisational culture (above), exploring the assumptions and beliefs held deep within teams. We’re then in position to help them define and communicate the culture they want to create.
Systemic change
Organisations are complex systems, not machines, so we work with clients to enable change to happen in a different way. At the same time we build their capability for adaptability and further evolution. With a clear, communicated vision of the culture that’s desired, we work with teams to catalyse and support the change they want to effect.
strengths-based
Using a strengths-based approach and change techniques such as Appreciative Inquiry, we engage teams to explore the strengths of their business. This creates a positive sense of what’s possible and connects them to a shared, envisioned future. Drawing on successes of their past, we enable companies to engage their teams in building a more successful future.
Co-CREATION
The right organisational culture can provide lasting competitive advantage for a business, but there isn’t one ‘right’ way of doing things. We support client teams to develop new ways of working that enable the outcomes their business wants to achieve. We work with people to explore different perspectives, research multiple available options, and initiate and test change.
Connecting
Some organisational cultures separate rather connect people. We work with processes such as Non Violent Communication to develop cultures of increased openness and inclusion. We build deeper connections between individuals and enable teams to embrace conflict. This leads to more opportunities for collaboration and innovation and enhances performance.
workshops
We use workshops as a way to work with groups within client businesses. We also recognise that when some clients initially engage with us, they may not be looking for a system-wide change but something to help them develop an area of their organisational culture that isn’t effective. We have created standalone workshops that will add value and act as catalysts for change.
We’re ready when you are.
