Every thriving organization's core is a symbiosis between strategic objectives and cultural norms. Our methodology is designed to explore this relationship, fostering environments where innovation, resilience, and purpose-driven work flourish.
How We Work: Aligning Strategy and Culture for Sustainable Growth
1. Discover: Understanding Strategy and Uncovering Your Organizational DNA
We begin by immersing ourselves in your organization's current makeup. We work together through interviews, observations, history, and a survey of available data to develop a picture of what exists. This may begin with the visible elements of your culture, such as office layout, dress code, formal processes, and the already stated principles and values that your organization espouses. Finally, we will explore the unconscious beliefs and perceptions that drive organizational behavior.
This approach is inspired by Edgar Schein's Organizational Culture Model, which emphasizes understanding these multiple levels to assess and influence organizational culture effectively.
2. Design: Co-Creating Pathways for Transformation
With a comprehensive understanding of your current cultural context and business objectives, we collaboratively design programs tailored to your organization's unique needs. This may include facilitating sessions or workshops that bring together diverse stakeholders to co-design around challenges or opportunities. We could decide whether some form of “Creative Play” would be beneficial to engage stakeholders interactively to develop new collaboration pathways. This phase promotes active participation, harnesses collective intelligence, and drives meaningful evolution your organization can own and build upon.
3. Deploy: Implementing and Sustaining Change
Transformation is an ongoing, ever-evolving journey. We support your organization through pilot programs to test new initiatives on a small scale, gather feedback, and make necessary adjustments. We might also work to establish clear KPIs to measure the impact of implemented strategies. If we’re successful, we will establish a continuous learning process with reflection sessions to assess progress, celebrate successes, and identify areas for improvement. Our goal is to empower your organization to become self-sustaining in its growth, continuously learning and creatively adapting in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.
By integrating these three phases - Discover, Design, and Deploy - we help organizations not only navigate change but also embrace it, building cultures that are resilient, innovative, and aligned with their strategic vision.
