Conversations for a cohesive, high-performing organisational culture
Click Play
If one or more of these symptoms are occurring, you may be working in an organisational system with an unhealthy culture. Signs of a healthy culture include both harmony, respect and good humour, as well as robust and even passionate dialogue about what matters. Once decisions are made it is understood and agreed that this is the way forward for now, and we will give it our best, while willing to own and learn from our mistakes. True accountability engenders proactive communication.
This is the kind of place where people enjoy coming to work, and you are regularly receiving expressions of interest from talented people wanting to become part of what you’re creating. Succession planning and marketing become easier, as you have an ever-increasing pool of fans and recommenders – to help the right people find you.
If you want to develop a healthy organisational culture that can attract positive people and opportunities, there may be some tough truths to be faced and hard decisions to make, however its possible to do this with commitment, courage and the right approach.

We have a well developed and tested approach to discovering where the pain points in the system are creating the most challenge, then working closely with you to design and implement appropriate and timely solutions.
Rather than taking a ‘one-size-fits all’ approach, we see each organisation as unique.
We combine your insights and gut-feel, with our evidence based tools, experience and skill, to develop a deeper inquiry into the underlying issues that are currently driving your culture and your results. We pay great attention to the human element as well as the business metrics.
We then recommend, develop and implement programs that are specific, relevant, timely, and transformational – for those areas within the organisation where our support can make the most difference, so you don’t waste time or money on the wrong things.
WE GUIDE and SUPPORT OUR CLIENTS THROUGH THE FOLLOWING METHODOLOGY . . .
We meet with the Program Sponsor and any other key Stakeholders, to hear their viewpoints and their intuition or ‘gut-feel’ about what is currently going on in the system, where the potential as well as the pain points are, and why they believe this.
We apply robust tools and processes to collect information about what’s really going on inside the organisation, while respecting the confidentiality of the participants. Data gathered is benchmarked against agreed standards such as Employer of Choice criteria. We may also review existing systems and processes; understanding and integrating what may have already been done but not fully utilised.
Analysing and sharing collected information with you, your key leaders, and the whole organisation; reflecting concrete evidence back to you about what needs to change. This prepares the way for working with the organisational culture at a deeper level; bringing values to life; generating a shared intention for change; and helping you get increased alignment, engagement, and productivity.
Taking into account the strongest areas of need, as well as contextual factors such as business and planning cycles, budgets and stakeholder expectations; we prioritise and plan a program delivery strategy with you, to optimise the degree of positive impact, so that you are able to generate important early ‘wins’ as well as align collective efforts towards a sustainable positive change longer term.
Designing and delivering an agreed range of targeted, customized, and cost-effective programs such as leadership team development; performance management; innovation and creative thinking; productivity enhancement; strategic thinking; 360-feedback processes; decision-making; and individual capability coaching that will create sustainable change for your organisation.
Assessing and evaluating goal-directed progress; promoting virtuous feedback loops within the organisation, aligning program outcomes with strategic talent development, competency frameworks, and performance management systems in a business context, so that your HR and business agendas are brought together.
Follow up surveys and assessments used in Step 5, approximately 12 months after the completion of a program; to measure the longer term impact of these interventions and further inform the HR and Business Planning agendas.
