We help you codify + cultivate your organisation's culture
Using our participative strategy approach, we smash though the silos and bring together the people with the greatest influence and impact on your culture to get you to results faster. As creative minds, we are able to articulate what makes you special in way that mirrors and amplifies the deeper emotional motivations of the indiviudals of your organisation. As strategic minds, we prioritise efforts to focus on what really matters for your business success and the realities of everyday behaviours. Creating momentum that continues long after we have left the building.

Smart participation that takes people with you
From codifying to embedding, our culture programme is designed to take your people with you. We use participative strategy to bring different voices to the table. Not just for better diagnosis of where things need to change, but to get the raw magic of the frontline culture that is driving the day-to-day of your organisation.
Leaders have a disproportionate impact on the culture and play a critical role. But there are other cultural forces at play in every organisation that need to be invited in. This is not about boiling the ocean but careful selection of the most influential and relevant participants from inside your organisation.
Greater visibility and agility with Culture15 platform
We've teamed up with leading culture measurement platform, Culture15 to offer our clients a management tool that helps leaders keep a finger on their cultural pulse. More than an engagement metric, with Culture15 we are able to measure the gap between your existing culture and your target culture across key behaviours and at regular intervals. Newly launched AI features that turn qualitative content into quantitative dashboards make for a more practical tool. Unlike other engagement platforms, Culture15 allows us to track practical behaviours in your organisation, rather than fickle or fleeting emotional states. This helps us test and learn from the initiatives for embedding and boosting your cultural energy.
