How we make it happen

From full culture change programmes to targeted leadership development, employee experience and DEIB programmes designed to support even the most complex cultures, we’ve been providing bespoke culture consultancy programmes for over 15 years.

That complexity may come from multiple geographies or even locations in the same country, from parent company vs. subsidiary dynamics, a legacy of M&A or IPO, regulatory environments, or recapitalisation.

Whilst a simplified and formulaic approach to culture alignment and engagement can be achieved in some organisations with communication, training, and the help of an engagement tool/App, the landscape is much more complex for many businesses. But a complex business situation doesn’t mean culture change is impossible. It just requires different thinking and the use of a range of techniques, all of which need to be underpinned by a methodology that provides the structure and means of keeping the change on track.

Cultural transformation for complex situations require attention to detail and an effective implementation approach. A multi-layered approach may not be simple, but it can spread responsibility and resources and multiply impact to achieve faster traction. Combine this with team, departmental, or location-based embedding activities, and even complex culture alignment can be achieved with pace and impact.

Our business culture consultants thrive in dealing with complexity. Our practitioner culture transformation consultants are business leaders, leadership experts, organisational psychologists, and culture experts, often from complex, high-volume, and heavily regulated environments. This experience enables us to help you navigate the nuances of less straightforward business structures and people dynamics.
