Cultural assessment for company alignment

While strategies provide direction, it’s culture that determines how effectively an organisation can achieve its goals.

Without the right culture, even the best strategies struggle. A strong, positive culture can attract talent, encourage innovation and drive performance. 

Using our Cultivate framework, we help you define both your current culture, including possible tensions and challenges that need to be resolved and the aspirational culture needed to support your strategic objectives.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach — it’s about identifying the combination of culture styles that will help your organisation thrive. 

Our SHAPE methodology helps you to identify areas of focus to make your desired culture a reality: 

• Stories: Changing mindsets through powerful narratives. 

• Hardwiring: Embedding new structures and processes. 

• Abilities: Aligning skills and capabilities with your cultural goals. 

• Processes: Integrating values into key HR practices such as recruitment and performance management. 

• Experience: Measuring and refining the impact of culture on employee engagement to ensure continuous progress. An excellent way to do this is through our employee surveys, which can be designed to specifically measure the impact of your culture.
