Culture is the strongest driver of individual and organizational actions, decisions, and results. Creating strong, healthy cultures is imperative to sustainable organization success.  Yet culture seems so amorphous because the cultural behaviors that can be seen have an invisible (and often unconscious) driver. To successfully assess and change a culture  requires making the invisible visible and working both at the individual and collective levels.  The cultural norms are rooted in what employees learned, over time, about what was valued (or punished) and what worked (or did not work).

Culture Change Process

Identify what is working well in the current culture and opportunities to become more vital and healthy in meeting the changing conditions impacting the organization mission, vision and strategy.

Envision the desired cultural norms and values.

Create a plan to close the gap between the current culture and the desired culture, especially focusing on the key culture change levers.

Implement the plan

Monitor the emerging results, forecast trends and make adjustments when needed.  

In this culture change process, the leadership team strengthens their capacity to envision and lead change successfully.
