Culture change starts with your senior leadership team
The board has agreed the culture needs to change. The harder question is whether the senior team agree on what that change looks like, and whether they’re ready to show it in the way they lead. People take their cue from what leaders do far more than from anything written in a strategy.
We work with senior teams to agree where you’re heading and what it will ask of each of you, so you’re ready to lead the change through the rest of the organisation.
Getting aligned at the top.
Senior leadership away days, offsites and facilitation to agree your direction and how you’ll talk about it.
Leading by example.
Helping leaders see how their own behaviour shapes the culture, and what to do differently.
Looking at the whole picture.
Checking whether your systems, processes and the way people are rewarded support the culture you want.
Turning values into behaviour.
Describing what each value looks like day to day, so people know what’s expected.
When the top team agrees the direction, the results and the culture start moving the same way. This is the most tailored work we do: every piece starts with understanding your organisation, and lasting change takes more than one session.
