Organizational Culture Health Assessment

Assessing your culture is necessary to ensure that the culture you aspire to have is experienced by everyone in the organization as you intended.  Just as importantly, as new people become part of your company, preserving the cohesion and sense of identity inherent in your culture becomes indispensable.

Team-building Simulations

Elevate your team's performance with team-building simulations based on the principle of synergy, where individuals working together can achieve greater results than they can alone. Serving as effective icebreakers to start conversations, break down barriers, and support the integration of new team members across face-to-face, virtual, or hybrid environments, these innovative simulations have been experienced by countless individuals worldwide and have yielded the benefits of increased psychological safety, improved performance, collaborative problem solving, and effective decision making.

Our experts can help you in a way that's efficient and effective, and will also ensure that your processes and culture are consistent with your mission, vision, values and purpose.

Employee Learning and Development

Future State Culture Planning

Culture is not static; it's dynamic, evolving, and it doesn't "just happen."  Our experts will help you plan and shape your culture in a way consistent with your vision for the future.  

Culture-based Customer Marketing Plan

marketing plan 2.png

Many companies have a Marketing Plan that was created without culture in mind. What difference does culture make? It maximizes the effectiveness of a Marketing Plan (even one that already "works") and articulates benefits that the typical plan doesn't emphasize or ignores completely.

Culture-based Talent Marketing Plan

marketing plan 1.png

You market to different customer segments differently, but in a way that communicates your value proposition and competitive advantage. When it comes to talent, culture is part of that value proposition and competitive advantage--and it's time to stop treating all prospective employees as one large homogeneous segment. Our experts will help you create a culture-based marketing plan targeting talent, complete with effectiveness metrics.
